Next week will mark the fourth anniversary of the fatal stabbing of David Josiah Lawson, a 19-year-old Humboldt State University sophomore whose still unsolved killings left fissures throughout the local community.
Lawson died early in the morning of April 15, 2017, after he was stabbed multiple times including once to the heart amid a series of fights at an off-campus house party in Arcata. Kyle Zoellner, a then 23-year-old McKinleyville man, was arrested at the scene and charged with Lawson s murder but within weeks a Humboldt County Superior Court judge had dismissed the case against him, finding there was insufficient evidence to hold him for trial.
