Noland was shot to death in his bed, and police discovered Charles' body by the side of the house.
Charles and Noland Mitchell were hardworking, well-respected members of the community.
Charles was a retired lumber mill worker who planned to become active in the new Coyote Valley tribal government, and Noland, a Ukiah High School and Mendocino College graduate, was working at the Sho-Ka-Wah Casino in Hopland.
