The California Highway Patrol says Jason Anthony Warren murdered Suzie Seemann, the university professor who died when a Kia allegedly driven by Warren ran into her and two friends on the morning of Sept. 27 as they went for their morning jog on Old Arcata Road. Her friends, Jessica Hunt and Terri Vroman-Little, suffered major injuries, and Hunt's dog, Maggie, also was killed.

The CHP, in a news release/collision report issued this afternoon, requests that the Humboldt County District Attorney file several charges against Warren: one count murder, two counts attempted murder, one count animal cruelty, three counts assault with a deadly weapon and one count vehicle theft.

In November, the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department asked the DA to file homicide and auto theft charges against Warren for a separate incident -- the killing of Hoopa resident Dorothy Ulrich -- earlier on the same morning the joggers were hit.
