On November 29, 2021, 32-year-old Meba Solomon Getachew of Oak Run, California, was found shot to death alongside 33-year-old Gunnar Eliot Yeager on a dirt road off Zig Zag Lane. Both men were discovered near two parked vehicles after traveling from Oregon to Shasta County to sell marijuana to Simon Abraham Tikue. Investigators concluded the transaction turned fatal when the buyer robbed and murdered them.

Simon Abraham Tikue was identified as the primary suspect. A glove recovered at the scene produced DNA that matched Tikue’s DNA from a 2018 case in which he reportedly kidnapped and robbed someone during a marijuana transaction, linking him to the double killing. The deaths underline the risks tied to illegal drug deals and the role of physical evidence in homicide investigations.

Did anyone in Oak Run or the Oregon area know Getachew or Yeager, or have information about their trip to Shasta County?
