Sac Sheriff seeks barbershop killing suspect

As a result of their intensive ongoing investigation into the December 14, 2010, shooting at the barbershop on Stockton Boulevard that resulted in the deaths of Monique Nelson and Marvion Barksdale, Sacramento County Sheriffs Department Homicide detectives have identified a suspect they believe is one of the shooters in the case. The suspect has been identified as 24-year-old Sacramento resident Lonnie Orlando Mitchell.

Mitchell is a Black male adult, 5'10" tall, weighs 180 pounds, black hair, brown eyes and numerous tattoos. His last known address is in the 7800 block of Center Parkway in Sacramento.

Detectives believe Mitchell is one of the suspects who fired a gun during the gun battle that erupted inside the barbershop and in the parking lot. However, detectives cannot say whether or not he was responsible for firing the shots that killed either Nelson, or Barksdale.

Mitchell should be considered armed and dangerous. Mitchell faces the charges of assault with a deadly weapon and parole violation when he is caught.
