DETALLES:
En 5-30-15, acerca de 2358 horas, two Oxnard Police officers were conducting a foot patrol in the 200 block of block Cuesta Del Mar. The officers observed three suspected gang members loitering in an apartment building courtyard and approached. As the officers walked closer all three subjects fled on foot. The two officers pursued on foot and immediately recognized that one of the suspects was holding a large object in his waistband area. One of the officers suspected the subject may have been armed. The officers followed two of the suspects into a field adjacent to the apartment building and detained the two. Responding units located the third suspect hiding underneath a parked car.
A police K-9 was brought into the area to search the field where two of the suspects were detained to conduct an article search. The police service dog quickly alerted his handler to an object in the grass. The dog handler located a loaded .357 caliber revolver that was discarded by the 17-year old suspect. A records check on the firearm revealed that it had been stolen in 2011.
The three suspects were arrested for gang-related offenses. The investigation revealed that the 17-year old suspect had the gun in his front waistband area as he fled from the officers and discarded it in the field as the officers approached him. Esteban Lopez, and his brother Raymundo Lopez, were arrested for resisting arrest and violating the civil gang injunction. The 17-year old suspect was booked into the Juvenile Justice Center for several firearms violations and a gang enhancement because he is a documented criminal street gang member. The two adults were booked into the Ventura County Jail.
In an effort to address the increase in firearms-related crimes, the Oxnard Police Department launched the Operation Safer and Stronger Initiative, así como el equipo de ataque de armas de fuego (RÁPIDO) led by the Violent Crime Unit, to proactively remove firearms from prohibited persons within the city. The objective of this initiative and FAST is to reduce gun violence in Oxnard through education, intervention, and enforcement.
