The Simi Valley Police Department and Ventura County District Attorney’s Office will hold a joint news conference to announce the arrests and charges filed against four individuals in connection with the May 25, 2025, burglary of 5 Star Jewelry in Simi Valley.

The arrests were made on June 10, 2025, following an investigation by the Simi Valley Police Department, with charges filed by the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office on June 12. Chief Shorts and District Attorney Nasarenko will provide an overview of the investigation and charges during the news conference, which will take place at the scene of the crime.

District Attorney Erik Nasarenko announced today that Ricardo Fausto Nunez (DOB 12/24/84), of Moorpark, has been charged after his 10-year-old son allegedly brought live ammunition to school. Nunez faces 11 felonies, including two counts of possession of an assault weapon and nine counts of possession of a large-capacity magazine. He also faces one misdemeanor count of child endangerment. The complaint includes a special allegation that the victim was particularly vulnerable. Nunez was arraigned on June 10, 2025, in Ventura County Superior Court, where he pled not guilty to all charges.

“This case is a stark reminder of the importance of safely storing all firearms and ammunition, especially when children are in the home,” said District Attorney Nasarenko. “Gun owners have a legal responsibility to ensure their weapons are secured and inaccessible to minors. Failing to do so puts everyone at risk, particularly our children.”

Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko announced today that    Dustin Ronald Alba (DOB 08/02/94), of Oxnard, was convicted by a jury on June 9, 2025, of nine felony counts of forcible sex acts, including rape, sodomy, and attempted forcible rape, on five separate victims. The jury also found true several special allegations and aggravating factors, including there being multiple victims, the victim was vulnerable, and Alba took advantage of a position of trust.

Alba’s crimes took place from 2012 to 2020, occurring in Thousand Oaks, Oxnard, and Los Angeles. The victims, many of whom met Alba through dating apps or social media, describe dating or messaging with Alba before being forced into sexual acts, despite repeated pleas for him to stop. He would use his body weight to pin down the victims and ignore their objections.

District Attorney Erik Nasarenko announced today that two Oxnard teenagers, 14 and 15 years old, have been charged with the murder of Davy Glen Pichel. The juveniles were in court this morning for arraignment. The Court ordered both minors detained at the Juvenile Facility. At the request of their attorneys, their arraignments were continued to June 24, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. in J3.

Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko announced today that Christian Alexandre Hillairet (DOB 09/02/99), of Ojai, has been charged with two counts of murder for the May 2025 killing of Carolyn Nino De Rivera and the 2023 death of William Thompson, a City of Ventura resident. Prosecutors have filed several special allegations against Hillairet, including commission of more than one murder, use of a deadly weapon, and a strike prior.

“The defendant’s alleged actions reflect a chilling pattern of violence and cruelty,” District Attorney Nasarenko said. “Our office is committed to securing justice for these victims and prosecuting Hillairet to the fullest extent of the law.”
