Octavio Montano Navarro, 47, was shot and killed inside his Olivehurst home on April 7, 2026. The Yuba County Sheriff’s Office says the shooting occurred about 2:50 p.m. after a man reported trying to force his way into a residence in the 4700 block of Fleming Way. Authorities later described the event as a homicide when the intruder allegedly gained entry and fired multiple times, striking Navarro.

Investigators identified 36-year-old David Lopez Martinez as the suspected shooter and said Martinez and Navarro were acquaintances who lived nearby. Several family members, including small children, were in the home and were not physically injured; officials said they did not appear to be the intended targets. Martinez was located later in the 1800 block of 9th Avenue, refused commands, barricaded himself, and after an hours-long standoff was taken into custody using less-lethal force. He was booked on homicide-related and other felony charges.

Authorities reported no evidence of gang involvement and said motive remained under investigation; a toxicology report for Martinez was pending. Anyone with information about the killing is asked to contact investigators.
