Law enforcement officers were actively handing out flyers and taking information on their clipboards late Thursday afternoon near Piuma and Malibu Canyon (and surrounding areas) in an effort to gather information leading to the person or persons responsible for the death of Tristan Beaudette on June 22, as well as multiple shooting incidents in the area dating back as far as November 2016.
This was the first attempt by law enforcement to formally reach out to the community in person, although a first Nixle alert requesting information was sent out on Monday June 25th, there was a previous scheduled attempt to hand out flyers on Friday, June 29th at the same location, but was cancelled at the last minute, reason unknown.
Lost Hills SD handed out approximately 1500-2000 flyers.
Monte Nido residents and the surrounding area near Malibu Creek State Park were on edge again last week with not one, but two reports of shootings, both responded to by Lost Hills Sheriffs Department. The second shooting on Thursday July 12th prompted the closure of Malibu Canyon Road at Piuma and Lost Hills SD dispatching helicopter to aid sheriffs on the ground who were heavily armed with dogs searching the area.
The reward money and additional attempts to gather information by LASD could mean their current leads have run cold in the investigation.
Tristan Beaudette’s coroner’s report continues to remain sealed by homicide detectives without any release of information to the public as to why the report remains off limits to the press and the public.
The investigation is active and ongoing and Malibu Creek State Park remains closed to the public for camping.
