Plumas County Sheriff’s Deputies have released the name of the man found dead last weekend at a Bucks Lake area campground. 

Deputies say the U.S. Forest Service, Bucks Lake Fire and Meadow Valley Fire responded to a fire early Saturday morning near the Sandy Point Day Use Area and Mill Creek Campground at Bucks Lake in Northern California.

Upon arrival, firefighters say they found a man with stab wounds. The man, 23-year-old Sheldon N. Steward of Oakland, was flown to Enloe Medical Center in Chico for treatment 

As fire crews put out the fire, they say they found the remains of a burned body within the area of the fire.  The victim has been identified as 20-year-old Trevor F. Holminski of Emeryville, California.

The same day the remains were found, investigators went to Enroe Medical Center to speak with Steward. He was eventually arrested for homicide and taken to Plumas County Jail where he was booked on $1 million bail.
