Jonathan Brian Jon Ford, a 47-year-old businessman from Round Mountain, California, was shot to death inside his home on Mountain School Road on March 12, 2007.

The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office carried out fingerprinting, interviews and searches of Ford’s properties and those of his family members. In 2010 a judge signed a warrant authorizing searches of Ford’s home and businesses and the homes of his widow, Julie Renee Ford, and his son Hamilton Chase Ford; that warrant was issued the same day another son, Nathaniel Ford, was sentenced to prison for an unrelated felony assault. Despite the extensive investigation and a family-offered reward, no motive or suspect has been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.

Anyone who knew Jon Ford, his businesses, or who has information about the night of March 12, 2007, is asked to come forward.
