While responding to the original scene, more 911 calls started coming in that the suspect was now in the Walmart about a half-mile down the road. There, he became involved in a verbal altercation with a female. Her boyfriend was there and got into a physical altercation with the suspect. After that was broken up, the suspect moved to the front of the store and began to remove his clothing. Deputies arrived at the store and took the suspect, who was naked and acting erratically, into custody.
The suspect has since been identified as 21-year-old Asaahdi Elijah Coleman, a Sacramento resident.
Investigators say Coleman had boarded the bus, which was bound to Los Angeles, in Redding. The bus stopped in Red Bluff and Chico before stopping in Oroville. Passengers reported that Coleman appears to have made or received a phone call that made him agitated and, at some point, he reportedly showed people a firearm he had in his bag.
