LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Authorities have arrested a Lakeport man for a drive-by shooting last week that killed a Clearlake woman.

Nathaniel Ladre Hueners, 21, was arrested early Monday, according to Lt. Martin Snyder of the Clearlake Police Department.

He is accused of fatally shooting 45-year-old Elizabeth Williams.

On Friday just before 11 p.m., Clearlake Police officers were dispatched to the 15300 block of Pacific Avenue for a report of multiple gunshots heard, Snyder said.

While on the way to the call, Snyder said officers learned a victim of a gunshot wound was being transported to the hospital by an involved party.

He said the officers responded to Adventist Health Clear Lake Hospital and contacted the adult female victim who was receiving medical treatment for a gunshot wound.

Hospital staff attempted lifesaving measures, however, the victim, identified as Williams, died of her injuries.

Snyder said Clearlake Police detectives responded to assist in the investigation, during which it was determined that Williams was driving in a vehicle near Pacific Avenue and Konocti View Road.

Another vehicle pulled up next to Williams’ vehicle, and one of the occupants of the other vehicle shot at Williams' vehicle, striking her one time. The suspect then left the scene in their vehicle.

Based upon the evidence and witness statements, Snyder said officers identified Hueners as the possible suspect. After further investigation, detectives obtained an arrest warrant for him.

At about 1 a.m. Monday, Lakeport Police officers responded to a hotel in Lakeport for a noise complaint, Snyder said.

While investigating the noise complaint in one of the rooms, the officers contacted three people, one of whom was Hueners. Snyder said the Lakeport Police officers also located a firearm believed to be associated with Hueners at the hotel.

Hueners was arrested and booked into the Lake County Jail for murder, assault with a firearm, being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm and violation of post-release community supervision.

Hueners, whose occupation is listed as an In-home Supportive Services worker, is being held without bail on the murder charge, according to his booking sheet.

Jail records show he is due to appear in Lake County Superior Court for arraignment on Wednesday.
