James Carl Forsberg, 53, was found dead in his home in the 100 block of Portland Avenue, Auburn, California, on November 7, 2016. Investigators described the circumstances as suspicious and later reported that Forsberg had been shot.

The Auburn Police Department, working with the Placer County District Attorney’s Office and the California Department of Justice, arrested two people from Oakland on December 14, 2016: Leah Rachel Tyrna Fischer, 27, and Montie Dionta Kennedy-Marshall, 23. Both were charged in Placer County with one count of murder alleging use of a firearm causing great bodily injury and one count of conspiracy to commit murder; Fischer was held in the Placer County Jail and Kennedy-Marshall in the Alameda County Jail pending transfer. Fischer was arraigned December 16, 2016, in Placer County Superior Court.

The motive has not been stated. Did anyone in Auburn or the Oakland area have information about Forsberg’s movements or contacts in the weeks before November 7, 2016?
