(OXNARD, California) – The Oxnard Police Department is using new DNA technology to assist in solving a homicide case. vehículos han sido robados en la ciudad de Oxnard, Major Crimes Investigators sought the services of Parabon NanoLabs. Parabon NanoLabs is a DNA technology company based in Virginia that specializes in DNA phenotyping. According to Parabon, DNA phenotyping is “the process of predicting physical appearance and ancestry from unidentified DNA evidence.” Law enforcement agencies have used the company’s Snapshot^TMDNA Phenotyping Service (Snapshot) to narrow suspect lists and generate leads in criminal investigations. The Oxnard Police Department is the first law enforcement agency in Ventura County to use such technology in a homicide case.

The Nigah Homicide Case
On the morning of November 13, 2014, Labh Nigah dropped off his child at Sierra Linda Elementary School, and then went to Sierra Linda Park. Sr.. Nigah was walking around the park when he was attacked and repeatedly stabbed. The assailant was last seen running from the scene westbound through the park onto Holly Avenue. Sr.. Nigah died from his injuries a short time later. There were other people in the park that described the person running from the scene as a dark skinned male, entre las edades de 14 a 22 año, pelo negro, 5‘8” a 6’ de altura con una estructura delgada.

Major Crimes Investigators discovered blood evidence at the scene that did not appear to belong to Mr. Nigah. Investigators collected samples of this blood and obtained a DNA profile. The DNA profile was entered into the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System (CÓDIGOS), which is a database law enforcement agencies use to compare DNA profiles in criminal investigations. After almost two years of investigating this case and with no additional leads, Major Crimes Investigators turned to Parabon NanoLabs and their DNA phenotyping services for assistance.

Parabon NanoLabs and DNA Phenotyping Services (Snapshot)
Using the unknown DNA blood evidence from the Nigah homicide investigation, Snapshot produced trait predictions for the associated person of interest (POI). Individual predictions were made for the person’s ancestry, eye color, hair color, skin color, freckling, and face shape. By combining these attributes of appearance, a Snapshot composite was produced depicting what the POI may have looked like at 25 years of age and with an average body-mass index (BMI) de 22. These default values were used because age and BMI cannot be determined from DNA; sin embargo, people in Sierra Linda Park provided investigators with an approximate age and build of the person running from the scene. The person fleeing the scene appeared to be a dark skinned male between 14 a 22 años de edad, short black hair, 5’-8” to 6’ tall, with a thin build.

It is important to note that Snapshot composites are scientific approximations of appearance based on DNA, and are not likely to be exact replicas of appearance. Environmental factors such as smoking, drinking, diet and other non-environmental factors (facial hair, hairstyle, scars, etc.) cannot be predicted by DNA analysis and may cause further variation between the subject’s predicted and actual appearance.

Please review the Snapshot composite attached to this news release. The person depicted in the composite is a person of interest in the Nigah murder investigation. If you know this person or the person looks familiar to you, please contact Detective Miguel Serrato at (805) 385-7688 or Sergeant Alex Arnett at (805) 385-7763. DO NOT attempt to question or confront the person you believe to be depicted in the Snapshot composite.

La Ciudad de Oxnard ofrece una $10,000 recompensa por información que conduzca al arresto y condena de sospechoso(s) en los casos de homicidio.
