Warrants issued and one arrest made in fatal hit and run of Calum Hunnicutt, authorities continue search for suspected driver

MENDOCINO Co., 11/28/19 — Two arrest warrants have been issued for suspects in the death of Calum Hunnicutt, the 21 year old Mendocino man who was killed in a hit and run while skateboarding in the town in Mendocino on July 17, and at least one person is in custody as of yesterday. However, the other suspect in the case, the alleged driver Gina Rae Bean, may still be at large, according to a 6 a.m. news release from the California Highway Patrol (CHP), in which investigators requested that anyone with information as to her whereabouts contact law enforcement.

Hunnicutt was a much beloved Mendocino resident, and the circumstances surrounding his hit and run death, followed by a lengthy investigation, have led to rallies outside the Ukiah courthouse, and rumors of conspiracy. According to the CHP press release, after a “vigorous and thorough investigation” by CHP and subsequent turning over of the case to the Mendocino District Attorney’s office, two warrants were issued on November 27, and one arrest made that afternoon.
