The Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD) announced today the arrest of a suspect in a double shooting on the Santa Cruz Harbor after a Crow’s Nest beach concert in August.

Moses Dollar, 27, was arrested and charged with attempted homicide after almost two months of investigation, and was captured in the Los Angeles area on Sep. 18. The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department assisted Santa Cruz authorities in the arrest and Dollar was transported to the Santa Cruz County Jail on Sep. 23.

Jakaella Porter has been identified as the female suspect in the case and she has a warrant out for conspiracy and attempted homicide.

On the night of Aug. 8, local law enforcement agencies responded to reports of a shooting at the Santa Cruz Harbor. Police scanners reported two males shot, with one suffering up to six gunshots to the chest. 

Witnesses said that after a brief altercation in the Crow’s Nest parking lot, a male in his early 20s opened fire on two men and fled the scene in a black Dodge Charger. The suspect was wearing a red puffy jacket and was accompanied by a female of indeterminate age.

The two victims remain in critical condition.
