In Redding, California, a night of heavy partying turned tragic for a local family.

Izek Finn, a Shasta College football player, was arrested after a violent assault that left a young man with broken bones, a concussion, and serious injuries.

The incident has sparked outrage, shining a light on ongoing issues with disruptive parties at off-campus housing facilities where athletes congregate.

Izek Finn, a 6’3″, 240-pound athlete, joined Shasta College in 2026 after a strong high school career at Hudson’s Bay High School in Vancouver, Washington.

Back then, he played varsity football as a defensive end and tight end, wearing jersey number 84.

Known for his size and skill, Finn committed to Shasta College as a defensive end and outside linebacker, donning jersey number 11.

As a red-shirt sophomore, he was building a name for himself on the Knights’ roster and was part of the a fan community that helps players earn money through name, image, and likeness deals.

In October 2026, Finn’s mother shared a post on social media, asking for support for her son and the team’s NIL efforts.

“Y’all my son needs your support!”

Keri Sue Marquis Shields, a Local Parent, Responded Heartbreakingly to the Call for Support

Shields wanted to help, but instead shared a painful story about her son’s encounter with Finn. She wrote on Facebook:

“I would love to help. Unfortunately IZEK FINN committed great bodily injury on my son and has been arrested on serious charges after my son was taken by ambulance.”

Her words revealed the severity of the incident, which left her son hospitalized with broken bones, a concussion, and other injuries that have kept him from work.

The assault happened amid ongoing issues at a rental property where 10 to 15 Shasta College football players have been throwing loud, nonstop parties.

These gatherings have disrupted the lives of other tenants, many of whom work early morning jobs and struggle to sleep through the noise.

Some families have even moved out because the landlord has done little to stop the disturbances.

Shields’ post was both a cry for help and a plea to the football coaches to take action.

“Fact is several shasta college football players 10-15, have partyed non-stop and have created a major problem on the promises where they gather, causing issues with all the tenants and keeping them up all night when they have early morning jobs. Some having to relocate Do to the landlord letting the nusience continue. Please coaches see to ît something is done. My son has broken bones, a concussion and much more. Losing work. Thankyou.”

The situation raises bigger questions about athlete behavior and oversight at Shasta College, a community college founded in 1950 with a proud athletic tradition.

Incidents like this can overshadow the talent on the field and strain ties with the local community.

Finn’s arrest on charges of great bodily injury is a severe blow to his football career and has left the Shasta College community facing the consequences.

As the legal process continues, Shields and her family are focused on recovery and justice.

For now, the incident serves as a wake-up call, urging better management of off-campus athlete housing and behavior to prevent further harm.
