    UPDATE: 8:35 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 6:

    Redding police reported that suspect Trevon Evanoff was arrested by the Sparks, Nevada Police Department on Sunday and is currently being held without bail for a charge of murder in the Washoe County Jail while awaiting his return to Shasta County.

    Authorities are still looking for a second suspect, Andrew Greer-Herrera, police said. ORIGINAL STORY: Redding Police Department detectives have identified two teenagers suspected in a shooting early Friday morning that left two men dead and three other people injured.

    Police identified Andrew Greer-Herrera, 19, of Lookout, California, as the primary suspect in the shooting, Redding police said in a Facebook post issued Saturday night. Detectives have obtained an arrest warrant for Greer-Herrera for homicide, according to the Facebook post which also said that Greer-Herrera's whereabouts are currently unknown.

    Detectives also obtained an arrest warrant for 18-year-old Trevon Evanoff for conspiracy due to his role in the incident, police said. Evanoff’s whereabouts are also unknown, Redding police said in their Facebook statement on Saturday.

    Detectives are requesting assistance in locating both of the identified subjects.

    Redding police officials asked members of the public not to contact the subjects if they are seen, out of concern that the suspects may be armed and dangerous, but to call the Shasta Area Safety Communications Agency (SHASCOM) at 911.

    On Friday, Redding Police Sgt. Aaron Hollemon told the Record Searchlight that the shooting did not appear to be random.
