Glenn County Observer
The Glenn County Sheriff-Coroner has released the identity of the man whose body was found Wednesday morning in an alleyway in Orland.
As reported earlier in The Glenn County Observer, at about 8:45 a.m. on Dec. 1, Orland police officers received a request for a welfare check for a man lying on the ground in the alley behind 514 Fourth Street.
Officers responded to the alleyway and found a deceased man with an apparent gunshot wound. A firearm was recovered at the scene.
This morning, the man was identified as Bernabe Trenado Cruz, 33, of 367 Stonycreek Drive, Orland.
After Orland police officers found the body, Glenn County Sheriff’s Deputy Emily Lourenzo responded to the scene. She confirmed the death and a coroner’s investigation was initiated.
Next of kin (Julissa Jeanette Trenado of 514 Fourth Street, Orland, and Rafael Trenado of 1082 Winterpine Drive, Orland) were notified of the death.
When the investigation was complete hours after the body was discovered, the decedent was released to the care of Sweet-Olsen Family Mortuary of Orland.
Cruz has had numerous encounters with law enforcement, both inside and outside of Glenn County. On Sept. 6 of this year, he was booked into the Glenn County Jail for a Tehama County warrant alleging willfully discharging a firearm in a negligent manner, and possession of ammunition by a prohibited person (both felonies).
His bail was set at $45,000.
Obviously, Cruz had enemies. The investigation into his death is ongoing, and the Orland Police Department urges anybody with information about the incident to contact Sgt. Kyle Cessna at 530-865-1616.
The Observer plans to publish updates as more information is received. See also the preceding story, “Apparent homicide victim found in Orland alley”.

A firearm was recovered at the scene.

Officers contacted the California Department of Justice Crime Lab, and an investigation was initiated.
Numerous Orland police officers were on the scene, as were some of Orland’s Volunteers In Police Service, or VIPS, posted to prevent members of the public from entering the crime scene. Sergeant Sean Johnson was also called in on his day off.
Glenn County Sheriff’s deputies and detectives were also dispatched to the alley.
From the Glenn County District Attorney’s Office, the D.A. himself, Dwayne Stewart, responded, as did Assistant District Attorney Ruby Neumann, and Chief Investigator Kelly Knight.
Investigators converse in the alley where a body was found earlier in the day. Glenn County Observer photo by Larry Judkins.
Police tape not only prevented access to the alley at the north and south ends, it also prevented access to the front of the house. One or more of the residents waited outside on the sidewalk near the street.
A car parked in the driveway of 514 Fourth Street was impounded. Two cell phones were reportedly inside the car, and the owner or owners asked if they could get the phones back.
It is not known if the police returned the phones.
This investigation is ongoing, and the Orland Police Department urges anybody with information about the incident to contact Sgt. Kyle Cessna at 530-865-1616.
The Observer plans to publish updates as more information is received.
