NEWS RELEASE:
Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko announced today that Francisco Garcia (DOB 10/07/68), of Oxnard, has been convicted by a jury of second-degree murder for the DUI crash that killed Elicia Lopez-Hernandez in 2018. The jury also found Garcia guilty of two felony DUI counts that resulted in great bodily injury to another victim, and felony fleeing the scene of an accident after causing serious injury. Several special allegations and aggravating factors were found true, including the crime involved great violence, the victim was vulnerable, and Garcia engaged in violent conduct.
Senior Deputy District Attorney Edward Andrews prosecuted the case.
“The jury’s verdict today recognizes the devastating consequences of the defendant’s actions,” Mr. Andrews said. “The defendant took the life of a woman who only sought to help others, grievously injured another good Samaritan, then he fled rather than face what he did. After a long and challenging process, these convictions bring a measure of closure to the victim’s family. It also sends a clear message: repeated acts of drinking and driving can be deadly. This conviction enhances public safety for our Ventura County community.”

Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko testified today in the California State Senate Public Safety Committee in support of Assembly Bill 1344, a measure aimed at significantly enhancing public safety. Authored by Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin, the bill would authorize district attorneys to directly petition the courts for Gun Violence Restraining Orders (GVROs), commonly referred to as “Red Flag Laws.” These judicial orders allow a judge to temporarily prohibit firearm possession by individuals who pose a significant danger to themselves or others.
AB 1344 passed out of the Senate Public Safety Committee and now advances to the Senate Appropriations Committee for further consideration.

Still holding onto fireworks? 🎇
Don’t leave them in the garage, anywhere kids can find them or where they can ignite.
Whether legal or illegal, you can safely drop off any unused fireworks at your local fire station or police department — no questions asked. 🤝

I doubt if there are any leftover fireworks in the east end of Simi Valley where I live. There was plenty really big ones going off too. Not the small stuff that go pop, pop, pop, ten times. We know what that is. 😉 Thankfully the war ended just after 11.
