Female Murder Victim Identified

The Napa County Coroner identified 46-year-old San Rafael resident Alicia Griffiths as the murder victim that resulted in an arrest Friday.
The the cause of Griffiths’ death is still under investigation, according to Sgt. Keith Boyd.

Robert Lee Bradley, 51, was arrested Friday on suspicion of murdering Griffiths at 49 Harbor St.

Bradley and several other men were in the home when police arrived around 6:45 a.m. Friday in response to a call about a woman who was not breathing, police Sgt. Jim Correa said. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene and Bradley was arrested.

Griffiths suffered blunt force trauma to her face. Correa said Bradley and the victim were or recently had been dating.

Police had already been dispatched to the victim's home at about 4:20 a.m. that morning after someone reported an argument, Correa said.
They found Bradley there and told him to leave after it was determined that no crime had been committed, Correa said.

About an hour after that first call, Bradley showed up at a 7-Eleven store about two blocks away at 80 Medway Road, Correa said. He allegedly threatened to kill two clerks and stole an item using intimidation, Correa said.

Bradley has been booked into Marin County Jail for murder, robbery and making criminal threats. He is being held without bail, and will appear in court Tuesday morning.
