DETALLES:


Detectives from the Oxnard Police department concluded an investigation today into a business in the city of Oxnard that was selling “dangerous fireworks.” Detectives received information that illegal fireworks were being sold from a business in the 1100 block of Industrial Avenue. Upon verifying that fireworks were being sold, detectives contacted Christian Perez, who was identified as the seller.

Perez was also in possession of a significant quantity of illegal fireworks. Detectives searched the business and located several thousand dollars’ worth of dangerous fireworks. There were over 25 different types of illegal fireworks, with some labelled as pyrotechnic and explosive. The seizure included rockets and mortars. The fireworks were seized, and later sent to a local fire station to be safely destroyed.

Perez was arrested for various charges, including selling and possession of explosives, and was booked in Ventura County Jail.

Todos los fuegos artificiales son ilegales en Oxnard. This includes those categorized as “safe and sane” as well as “dangerous fireworks.” The “State Fireworks Law” is established by the Health and Safety Code (H&S) secciones 12500-12534. More specific information can be found at: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displa…

“Dangerous fireworks” are defined by 12505 H&S, and generally involve fireworks with specific chemical content, as well as those that explode, fly, travel, skip, or dart.

“Safe and Sane” is defined by 12529 H&S to include “any fireworks which do not
come within the definition of “dangerous fireworks” o “exempt fireworks.”” This typically includes the types of fireworks that are purchased at fireworks stands. .

The Oxnard Police Department Oxnard police department will continue to enforce the ban on all fireworks in Oxnard. Anyone possessing, storing, selling, using, transporting or handling any type of fireworks is subject to a fine of up to $1,000. In some instances, a misdemeanor arrest may occur.

Statistics show fireworks are among the most risky of consumer products. Casi 10,000 fireworks-related injuries are treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms every year and two of five people injured by fireworks are under 15 años de edad. The most current statistics from the National Fire Protection Association show that in 2011 eight out of nine, o 89 por ciento, of all fireworks-related injuries treated in emergency room injuries were caused by fireworks that are allowed for consumer use by federal or state regulations. Similarly, Sparklers, fountains, and novelties alone accounted for one-third (34%) of emergency room fireworks injuries.

This year Oxnard PD has set up an email address – [email protected] – to report fireworks in advance of the holiday. In your email, please include the address where the fireworks are being used. No es necesario para que usted deje su nombre y número de teléfono si no desea hacerlo.

COMUNICADO DE PRENSA

INCIDENTE: Driving into the Sun’s Glare
FECHA / HORA: Septiembre 29, 2014
UBICACIÓN: Ciudad de Oxnard
PREPARADO POR: Oxnard Police Department Traffic Unit

DETALLES:
This time of year, the angle of the sun can be blinding which can be a major hazard and a threat to those on or around our roadways. Driving into the sun can make it much harder to see ahead and is an added risk to drivers. It can be blinding for motorists who are trying to see the road, other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and traffic signals.

In the fall, the rising sun aligns itself perfectly with many east-west roadways according to the National Weather Service and the City of Oxnard is no exception. It is during the first 15 a 45 minutes of sunrise that sun-glare is most hazardous. In the last couple of weeks, the City of Oxnard has experienced two major traffic collisions whereby the sun glare was a major contributing factor.

The Oxnard Police Department Traffic Unit offers the following tips and suggestions when driving directly towards the sun:

  1. Wear sunglasses with polarized lenses, or wear eyeglasses with an anti-reflective coating. Scratched eyeglasses or contact lenses make the glare worse.
  2. Clean your windshield outside and inside. A cracked or dirty windshield can magnify glare.
  3. Heed the speed limit, particularly if you are driving into the sunrise on your way into work or the sunset on your way home.
  4. Slow down and use caution especially while driving through narrow roadways or school zones. The more space you have, the more time you have to react.
  5. Increase your following distance beyond the recommended safe distances to allow three or more seconds between vehicles.
  6. Turn headlights on so oncoming motorists can see you as they are driving toward the sun.
  7. Use your visor as much as possible, but remember that visors can also block your vision.
  8. Consider alternate routes to minimize east/west driving whenever possible. Use north/south streets until you find an east/west road with lots of trees or taller buildings.

A third stabbing victim had left the scene of the incident prior to officer’s arrival and was contacted a short time later at Saint John’s Hospital where he was receiving treatment for his injuries.


En junio de 2013, the investigation into this murder resulted in criminal indictments against four Lemonwood Chiques gang members, charging each with murder for their involvement in this attack.

En febrero 18, 2014, investigators arrested a fifth suspect, Alejandro Jimenez, for his role in this murder. Jimenez is also in-custody, awaiting trial.

El domingo, Octubre 12, 2014, a sixth suspect, 30-year-old Francisco Martinez Barrera, was arrested for his role in this incident. Barrera was in the custody of the Ventura County Sheriffs Department facing unrelated firearms charges at the time of his arrest. The investigation into Barrera revealed that he fled to Mexico in April of 2013, during the same time investigators were making the initial arrests in this incident. It is believed that this flight was directly related to the arrests being made.

At the end of September of 2014, Barrera was arrested for a warrant associated the unrelated firearms charge as he was attempting to reenter the United States at a border crossing south of San Diego. Barrera has been charged with a violation of California Penal Code Section 187 and for committing the crime for the benefit of a street gang, in violation of California Penal Code Section 186.22(b)(1). As with the other five charged suspects, Barrera is a documented member of the Lemonwood Chiques street gang. He remains in custody with his bail set at $1,500,000.

The success of this investigation is the result of countless hours of investigation and a cooperative effort involving multiple law enforcement agencies including the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office and the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department. Investigators believe that additional individuals were involved in this murder and the investigation remains active. Members of the public are asked to contact Detective Mike Young at (805) 385-7606 o [email protected] if they have any information about this incident.
