On February 24, 2019, at about 11:30PM, officers from the Oxnard Police Department were in the area of Pleasant Valley Road and Olds Road when they heard multiple reports of gunshots. Officers responded to the area and observed a white sedan enter the Ocean Aire Mobile Home Estates in the 2200 block of Butler Road. As officers drove upon the vehicle, a male passenger fled from the vehicle, leaving the female driver.
Officers were able to learn that the male subject who fled may reside in the 1600 block of Lime Avenue within the mobile home park. Officers responded to that location and made contact with the residents. One of the residents, Martinez, was determined to be the subject who fled from the vehicle, as well as the subject responsible for the shots that were fired. A handgun belonging to Martinez was also located at this location.
Martinez was arrested for weapons violations, including possessing a firearm while in possession of a controlled substance, a felony.
