A man from Gualala has been arrested in connection with the murder of a Point Arena man in late 2023. Edgar Arteaga Coria, 44, is one of two men suspected in the murder of 32-year-old Jesus Joel Romero. The body of Romero was found on Ten Mile Cut Off Road after a call to the Mendocino County Sheriff’s office had said he had been assaulted some hours before at a bar in Point Arena. Arteaga Coria was living under an alias and had been identified during a traffic stop in Los Angeles when he was identified and arrested there. He was transferred to the Mendocino County Jail on the 20th, where he remains, charged with murder under a $1 million bond.
