Santa Rosa Police Issue Photos Of Suspects Involved In Brutal Golf Club Attack

SANTA ROSA (CBS SF) -- Police in Santa Rosa on Wednesday issued two photos of suspects in connection with a violent assault at a mall Tuesday evening using a golf club.

Police posted the photos on the Santa Rosa police Twitter account. Though they referred to the two people in the photos as persons of interest, the men in the pictures match the police description of suspects in the Tuesday night attack.

Police said a reward of up to $2,500 is being offered by the Sonoma County Alliance Take Back Our Community Program.

Tuesday night, police responded to the area at 500 Second Street around 6:17 p.m., where the assault had just occurred. Police found three adult male victims at the scene with serious injuries and they were transported to a local hospital.

Upon investigation, police learned that the three victims were confronted by seven to eight male adult suspects who didn't know know the victims.

One suspect was armed with a golf club and used it to attack the victims several times, police said. After the attack, the suspects ran east toward Santa Rosa Avenue, where several of them got into a small, older model white sedan before fleeing the area.

One suspect is described as a dark skinned male adult with black hair and a black beard. He was wearing a red sweatshirt, dark colored pants and white shoes.

A second suspect is described as an unknown race male with black hair. He was wearing a white/gray sweatshirt, gray pants and white shoes.
