Released Killer Has Active Misdemeanor Warrant in California
A man who beat a count of negligent homicide after accidentally shooting and killing his mother, Tatjana Omanovic, has an active warrant in California.
Adrian Sjolund, 23, was released from the Alachua County Jail on November 20, 2025, after serving nine months for violating a firearm possession injunction. Omanovic’s husband Owen Dickinson previously confirmed with GnvInfo that the injunction was for domestic violence in California.
In January 2024, deputies pressed a count of negligent homicide against Sjolund for killing his mother on July 25, 2023.
In March 2024, prosecutors with the Eighth Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute, but did formally file a count of violating a firearm possession injunction, a misdemeanor.
In February 2025, Sjolund entered an open no contest plea, meaning Judge Kristine Van Vorst could do whatever she wanted within sentencing guidelines which was a maximum of one year in jail.
Sjolund was not arrested until he was sentenced. He was served a summons after prosecutors formally filed the gun charge, court records show. Van Vorst sentenced him to 364 days in jail, however, he completed the term roughly three months early despite not receiving any credit for time served in jail.
“Nine months... Yeah, Florida is tough on crime,” said Dickinson in a recent statement. He added that “it’s both disappointing and unsurprising that the [State Attorney’s Office] didn’t inform us - consistent with their poor ‘victim advocacy’ track record - and that they didn’t respond when I asked for clarification about his release (twice). Obvious they don’t care.”
According to an ACSO incident report received in response to a records request for all reports involving Sjolund in their possession, another inmate punched Sjolund in the face the day prior to his release.
According to a Humboldt County, California government website, Sjolund has an active warrant within the jurisdiction of their sheriff's office.
Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Specialist Erin Inskip told GnvInfo that Sjolund’s warrant was issued in a Eureka Police Department case under California’s penal code against domestic violence.
Dickinson said he believes the warrant stems from Sjolund failing to appear.
“I have no information on extradition,” said Inskip.
An ACSO Records employee said, “The documentation provided clarifies that the warrant in question is classified as a misdemeanor rather than a felony. As such, it is non-extraditable across state lines.”
Dickinson indicated that Sjolund has ties to Hawaii but that family members confirmed he is not in the state, saying he “likely remains a FL problem.”
GnvInfo covered Sjolund’s sworn complaint in more detail after he was sentenced last year.
