An investigation has led Red Bluff Police Detectives to believe the murder of a teenager two weeks ago was gang related. On the afternoon of September 13th officers were sent to the 1100 block of Oak Street, where they found a 16-year-old boy suffering from a gunshot wound. Life saving efforts failed and he was soon declared dead. The shooter is identified as 17-year-old Blake Michael Bush of Redding. He and another suspect, 19-year-old Nathan Olney Reep of Red Bluff, were arrested in Trinity County on Saturday. A third suspect remains at large. 15-year-old Ryan Scott Piper of Red Bluff is 5-foot-5 and 145 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. His photo is on the KQMS Facebook Page.
