Evin Yadegar Olson, 46, a co-owner of the Barkin’ Dog Grill in downtown Modesto, was killed on February 26, 2017, in Ripon, California. Stanislaus County deputies responded to a 911 call in the early morning and, after attempting to stop Olson’s car, pursued her vehicle until it crashed into a house on Tornell Circle. Deputies reported shots were fired after the crash and Olson was found with a gunshot wound to the chest.

Olson’s family says she suffered from bipolar disorder and was in a manic state that night; her husband Hanibal and their young son remain, and Hanibal has said she needed help rather than posed a threat. Deputy Justin Wall was the only officer reported to have fired his weapon and was later charged with voluntary manslaughter. A protective order has limited public access to information about the incident, and family members and others have complained about a lack of transparency.

Are there witnesses, nearby residents, or anyone who knew Olson’s routine that can shed light on what happened that night?
