Riverside County school superintendent announces 1st 2023 Educators of the Year
By StaffAschool counselor focused on providing STEM opportunities to underrepresented students at Riverside County’s largest high school, and an administrator who ensures that students and families remain connected with school despite challenging circumstances, were surprised Tuesday with the news that they had been named the county’s first 2023 Educators of the Year by Riverside County Superintendent of Schools Edwin Gomez. Both honorees are employees of the CoronaNorco Unified School District.
Gomez plans to make five additional surprise visits throughout February. All honorees, including will be recognized at the 2023 Celebrating Educators Luncheon scheduled for May 2 at the Riverside Convention Center.
“Our first two 2023 Riverside County Educators of the Year are great examples
of dedicated educators who recognize that connecting with students and families is the most powerful way to ensure that all students are successful in our educational system,” Gomez said in a statement. “Students who are in search of a caring adult on campus, and parents who are in need of additional support to ensure their students’ success, are the focus of these first two educators of the year, and I’m proud to recognize them for their outstanding example of servant leadership.”
School Counselor of the Year
Hilda Jauregui-Castanon has been a school counselor for 15 years — including eight years at Riverside County’s largest school, Eleanor Roosevelt High School in the Corona-Norco Unified School District.
Jauregui-Castanon holds several leadership positions, such as developing the Puente Program that assists underrepresented students
become high school graduates and college-eligible, according to the Riverside County Office of Education. Upon graduation, Puente Program team members help the program’s students
through the college application process. JaureguiCastanon’s use of data to establish a student-centered focus is the foundation upon which she strives to be the adult on campus that
students can trust to be “seen.”
“I try to do everything with students in mind, and to make sure everyone on my team is focused on the support of students,” said Jauregui-Castanon, amid a classroom full of students and supporters, moments after being surprised with the news that she is the county’s School Counselor of the Year. “I didn’t know what was happening with all these people here, but I am truly honored and humbled by this award.”
Gomez said, “This year, Hilda’s goals were about catching students early on, to find out what they need, and to be there for them until they feel like they’ve got it. She is not only helping students with their GPA, but with their social-emotional health as well.”
Certificated Administrator of the Year
Cassandra Willis leads the Parent Center for Corona-Norco USD. The center connects parents
and families with resources and opportunities aimed at helping students to thrive as they face challenges in school or in life, according to the Office of Education. By listening intently and instilling hope, Willis and her team make use of data and innovative thinking to provide customized approaches to keeping students on track to graduate.
Now entering her 30th year of education, Willis believes that effective leadership is based on capturing the hearts of those she is blessed to lead, and building positive relationships every day, according to the Office of Education.
“I had no idea, and am overwhelmed by all of this,” said Willis as she entered a large training room filled with colleagues, administrators as well as her daughter, to receive the news that she is the Certificated Admin-

Brush fire erupts along Santa Ana River bottom in Jurupa Valley Victim’s family testifies in penalty phase of Palm Springs quadruple homicide
By City News Service
Afire that broke out Thursday along the Santa Ana River bottom in Jurupa Valley scorched nearly an acre of heavy brush before crews got it under control.
The non-injury blaze was reported at 1 p.m. near the intersection of 64th and Corey streets, on the south end of the city, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.
The agency said that multiple engine crews from the county and Corona Fire Department were sent to the location, but because the fire was deep in vegetation, personnel could not immediately reach it.
Flames moved at a slow rate as crews worked to establish containment lines, relying on specialized Type 3 engines.
By Kristy Ramirez, City News ServiceAs the penalty phase continued Thursday for a Cathedral City man convicted of fatally gunning down four people in Palm Springs more than four years ago, the mother and the girlfriend of one victim testified about their resultant struggles, about the joy he spread and of the two kids he left behind.
Carlos Campos Rivera, 25, was killed by Jose Vladimir Larin-Garcia on Feb. 3, 2019, along with three other victims: Jacob Montgomery, 19; Juan Duarte Raya, 18; and Yuliana Garcia, 17. Jurors reached a unanimous guilty verdict Monday in Larin-Garcia’s retrial, found him guilty of the four murders and found true a special-circumstance allegation of multiple murders and sentence-enhancing gun and great bodily injury allegations.

12-year-old boy, man arrested for alleged threatening video displaying handguns
A 12-year-old boy and a 39-year-old man were arrested Wednesday after the boy allegedly sent a video displaying handguns and making threatening statements to students at James Workman Middle School.
Officers responded to the middle school around 9 a.m. Wednesday and determined that the boy was not present, according to Commander Jon Enos of the Cathedral City Police Department.
Enos said detectives served a search warrant at 11:35 a.m. for the boy’s residence in the 67700 block of Verona Road, where they allegedly found three firearms, including the ones depicted in the video.
“Since the residence was near Rio Vista Elementary, the department requested the school to go on lockdown for safety precautions,” Enos said. The elementary school was locked down from 11:25 a.m. to 11:46 a.m.
Poll data shows Riverside County residents’ thoughts on climate change
By City News Service By StackerFollowing the search, Roman Rodriguez of Cathedral City was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment, being a felon in possession of a firearm, being in possession of an illegal rifle and being in possession of unregistered firearms, according to Enos. He was taken to the John J. Benoit Detention Center in Indio.
The boy was arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats, Enos said. He was taken to Indio Juvenile Hall.
“The department wants
to remind and encourage parents to monitor their child’s activity on their cellular phones, social media accounts and gaming apps with chat features,” Enos said in a statement. “Parents should regularly check the contents, including pictures and videos, on their child’s cellular phone.”
Anyone with information regarding the videos was asked to call the police department at 760-7700300 or Coachella Valley Crime Stoppers anonymously at 760-341-7867 (STOP).
According to the Pew Research Center, about twothirds of Americans feel the federal government is not doing enough to counteract the effects of climate change. While a majority of U.S. adults acknowledge climate change to be a real issue, there is less consensus in regards to what measures to take to address the wors-
ening climate crisis.
Solutions such as planting more trees to absorb carbon emissions garnered widespread, bipartisan support. Approval for taxing corporations based on their emissions output or introducing stricter emissions standards for vehicles, on the other hand, seemed to fall along party lines, with
86-89% of Democratic-leaning respondents supporting those measures, versus 52-55% of Republican-leaning respondents. Attitudes toward climate change policies are split by more than mere political party affiliation, however.

Felon charged with capital murder for allegedly gunning down deputy
Aman who allegedly killed a Riverside County sheriff’s deputy in an ambush outside a Lakeland Village home, chasing the lawman in a pickup until he shot him dead, is charged with capital murder and other offenses.
Jesse Ceazar Navarro, 42, is accused of fatally shooting 30-year-old Deputy Darnell Calhoun on the afternoon of Friday, Jan. 13, 2023.
Navarro remains hospitalized in critical condition, recovering from wounds he received when a deputy backing up Calhoun shot him.
On Feb. 6, the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office filed the first-degree murder charge, as well as an attempted murder count, along with special circumstance allegations of killing a peace officer and lying in wait, with sentenceenhancing gun and great bodily injury allegations.
According to a sheriff’s arrest warrant affidavit filed with the criminal complaint, Calhoun went to the residence in the 18000 block of Hilldale Lane, near Grand Avenue, at about 4:30 p.m. on Jan. 13 after 911
dispatchers received a call regarding what sounded like a domestic altercation, but were unable to get straight answers from the caller, who hung up.
Calhoun arrived alone in his patrol vehicle and “contacted several individuals in the driveway of the residence,” according to the declaration.
“Navarro partially concealed himself behind an open door of his (pickup) truck, holding a handgun out of sight of Deputy Calhoun,” the document said. “Within 17 seconds of Deputy Calhoun arriving on scene, Navarro began shooting at him. Navarro fired multiple rounds at Deputy Calhoun, as Deputy Calhoun fled on foot. Navarro then entered his truck, drove in the direction that Deputy Calhoun had fled and continued to fire at him from the truck.”
The affidavit indicated that Calhoun fired back at the defendant, but “none of the rounds appeared to injure him.”
Calhoun was hit several times and collapsed in the street.
Within three minutes, the backup deputy reached
By City News Servicethe location and encountered Navarro sitting in his pickup at the end of the street. The lawman ordered Navarro to surrender, but the assailant allegedly ignored the commands and instead “exited his truck still armed with the handgun, (firing) multiple times toward this deputy,” according to the declaration.
“The deputy fired multiple times toward Navarro, eventually striking Navarro multiple times,” the document stated.
Calhoun was taken to Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The other deputy was not injured.
Navarro was initially taken to the same trauma center, but it’s unknown whether he remained there or was transferred to the jail infirmary at Riverside University Medical Center in Moreno Valley.
No hearings have been set yet in the case.
Navarro has no documented prior felony convictions in Riverside County.
Calhoun had been with the sheriff’s department and assigned to the Lake
Elsinore station barely a year, previously serving with the San Diego Police Department. His parents are business owners in Temecula.
“It takes a special kind of person to be able to come to work every day, knowing that you could sacrifice your life for someone else and leave your family behind,” Sheriff Chad Bianco said during a public memorial last month. “Darnell was that kind of man, who came to work to protect people.”
Lake Elsinore Mayor Natasha Johnson said Calhoun’s “sacrifice reminds us of the ultimate price our law enforcement officers are willing to pay to keep our families and our communities safe.”
He left behind a pregnant wife and two sons, ages 2 and 4.
A “Help A Hero” fundraiser was established for the lawman. As of this week, $278,180 in donations had been made on behalf of Calhoun’s family. The fundraiser link is at https:// helpahero.com/campaign/ deputy-darnell- calhoun.
Exactly one week prior to Calhoun’s slaying, Deputy

The 32-year-old motorcycle deputy was shot to death on the afternoon of Dec. 29 by a convicted felon during a traffic stop in Jurupa Valley. The man was killed two hours later during
a gun battle with deputies attempting to arrest him after a lengthy pursuit that ended on southbound I-15 in Norco.
Cordero’s had been the first deputy line-of-duty death in Riverside County in 15 years.

Alec Baldwin sued by family of cinematographer killed in ‘Rust’ shooting
The parents and sister of Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer who was fatally shot when a prop gun wielded by Alec Baldwin discharged on the set of the film “Rust,” sued the actor and the film’s production company Thursday.
By City News ServiceThe Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit comes months after a separate legal action filed by Hutchins’ husband was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount, with a stipulation that the filming of “Rust” would continue with Matthew Hutchins serving as
a producer.
“It’s clear to us that the relationships of all of our clients have been damaged and that they will not be able to enjoy life in the same way as they did when their precious Halyna was alive,” attorney Gloria Allred said at
a news conference announcing the lawsuit. “Halyna was the light in their lives.”
Baldwin has repeatedly denied culpability in Hutchins’ death, which

New bill would make California school lunches healthier
By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News ServicePoll data shows LA County residents’ opinions on climate change
By StackerStarting next year, school lunches in California could get a lot healthier if a new bill passes to set guidelines for added sugar.
Senate Bill 348 would limit the amount of added sugar to 25 grams a day.
Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, authored the bill to improve the quality of school lunches, as California now provides two free meals a day to all public school students.
“For many of these kids, that’s more than half the calories they’ll consume in a day,” Skinner pointed out. “We need to make sure that our meals are as healthy as possible and don’t contrib-
ute to chronic diseases like diabetes.”
The Biden administration unveiled new guidelines for sugar, salt, fat and whole grains, which will be phased in over the next few years. It marks a reversal from the Trump administration policy, which argued stricter guidelines do little and generate more waste if children reject the healthier options.
Skinner noted the bill also directs the state to study whether kids in school currently have sufficient time at lunch to eat.
“My bill asks to get the data on whether we are providing adequate time for children to eat,” Skinner
explained. “And if not, what adjustments would we make?”
According to the American Diabetes Association, more than 4 million Californians have diabetes and another 10.3 million have prediabetes.
The bill does not address food sold in vending machines or at school events.

Other important demographic factors include generational differences, gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic situation, and proximity to a coastline where natural disasters have increased in frequency.

‘Rust’ shooting
occurred Oct. 21, 2021, inside a church building on the Western set of “Rust” outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. Baldwin was wielding a prop gun, helping set up camera angles for an upcoming scene, when the weapon discharged, killing Hutchins, 42, and wounding director Joel Souza.
Baldwin has insisted that he was told the gun wasn’t loaded when it was handed to him. He also contends that while he pulled back the hammer of the weapon, he never pulled the trigger.
Regardless, the actor was charged last month with involuntary manslaughter, as was the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.
Baldwin’s attorney, Luke Nikas, previously called the charges “a terrible miscarriage of justice.”
“Mr. Baldwin had no
reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun — or anywhere on the movie set,” Nikas said. “He relied on the professionals with whom he worked, who assured him the gun did not have live rounds. We will fight these charges, and we will win.”
The new lawsuit was filed Thursday on behalf of Hutchins’ mother, Olga Solovey; father, Anatolii Androsovych; and younger sister, Svetlana Zemko. All three are Ukrainian citizens, living near Kiev.
“The events that led to the shooting by Alec Baldwin of a loaded gun constituted intentional acts and/or omissions, without any just cause or excuse, by him and the producers of ‘Rust,”’ the lawsuit states. “Mr. Baldwin chose to play Russian Roulette with a loaded gun
without checking it and without having the armorer do so. His behavior and that of the producers on ‘Rust’ were intentional acts and/ or omissions, without any just cause or excuse and with utter disregard of the consequences of said acts and/or omissions.
“The fact that live ammunition was allowed on a movie set, that guns and ammunition were left unattended, that the gun in question was handed to Alec Baldwin by the assistant director who had no business doing so, and that safety bulletins were not promulgated or ignored, coupled with the fact that the scene in question did not call for a gun to be fired at all, makes this a case where injury or death was much more than just a possibility — it was a

likely result.”
The suit alleges battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and loss of consortium. It seeks unspecified damages.
Gutierrez-Reed, who is also among the defendants in the lawsuit, has denied wrongdoing in Hutchins’ death, saying through her attorneys that she repeatedly pushed for additional firearms training on the set, and that producers forced her to focus more on props than on her duties as an armorer. She also said film producers failed to notify her that Baldwin was using a gun while helping to set up camera angles, so she was never called into the church set to oversee the weapon, which was handed to him by assistant director David
Halls.
While Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed are both facing involuntary manslaughter charges in New Mexico, Halls was given a plea deal — pleading no contest to a charge of negligent use of
a deadly weapon. The deal, which still needs judicial approval, calls for him to receive a suspended sentence and six months probation. Baldwin and GutierrezReed could both face up to five years in jail if convicted.

Disney slashing 7,000 jobs as part of $5.5B cost-cutting move
By City News ServiceVision experts warn of dangers of excessive screen time
By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service
The Burbank-based Walt Disney Co. will slash 7,000 jobs as part of a $5.5 billion cost-cutting effort, CEO Bob Iger announced Wednesday.
The possibility of layoffs at Disney has been rumored for weeks, with Iger regaining his footing in the CEO’s office following the surprise ouster of CEO Bob Chapek in November.
Iger broke the news during an earnings call Wednesday afternoon, following the release of the company’s first-quarter earnings report.
Iger said he is targeting $5.5 billion in cost savings “across the company.”
“To help achieve this we will be reducing our workforce by approximately 7,000 jobs,” he said. “While this is necessary to address the challenges we are facing today, I do not make this decision lightly. I have enormous respect and appreciation for the talent and dedication of our employees worldwide and (am) mindful of the personal impact of these changes.”
No details were immediately released on where the layoffs would be made, or how quickly.
Iger said the company’s organizational structure was being changed, with the company being divided into a trio of divisions -- Disney Entertainment; ESPN; and Parks, Experiences and Products.
The move is an undoing of the changes that Chapek instituted when he took over the company three years ago.
Iger said the restructuring will return “greater authority to our creative leaders” while also making them “accountable for how their content performs financially.”
“Our former structure severed that link and must be restored,” he said. “Moving forward, our creative teams will determine what content we’re making, how it is distributed and monetized and how it gets marketed.”
Americans spend almost 13 hours a day using digital devices, and experts said it has the potential to strain your eyes and lead to serious health problems down the road.
Blue light comes from the sun but also from digital screens, and some medical professionals say too much of it can lead to scratchy or itchy eyes, tearing up, problems focusing, and headaches.
Dr. Scott Edmonds, chief eye care officer for UnitedHealthcare Vision, recommended the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away from the screen at something 20 feet away, for at least 20 seconds.
“It takes you away from the blue light, so your retina can recycle,” Edmonds explained. “It also takes the strain off your convergence muscles, the muscles that turn your eyes in to keep them focused on the screen. When you look at 20 feet, your focus goes to rest, your converging muscles go to their resting point, and you get 20 seconds away from the blue light.”
He also recommended adults, starting in their 20s, should get a baseline eye exam, so they can measure changes in the future. Ultraviolet light is damaging to the retina and over time and is thought to contribute to age-related macular degeneration.
Edmonds added experts are concerned blue light may be just as damaging.
“Blue, we always thought, was safe because it’s visible,” Edmonds acknowledged. “It may also be causative because it’s so high energy and because these new sources admit such high levels of the blue light.”
Dr. Raj Maturi, clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, advised frequent breaks from the screen and turning them off well before bedtime to improve sleep.
“We get tired, our brain is not trying to slow down, and we don’t sleep well,” Maturi pointed out. “An excess amount of blue light at night can also decrease the amount of melatonin that our body produces, and therefore affect how quickly and how easily we fall asleep.”

California Public Utilities Commission probes gas price spike
By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News ServiceGas bills jumped by hundreds of dollars over the past few months for many Californians - and on Tuesday, the California Public Utilities Commission held a hearing to find out why.
Some of the reasons cited - high demand during cold weather, and the failure of utilities to store enough gas for the winter or hedge against problems with interstate pipelines.
Heidi Harmon, former mayor of San Luis Obispo, applauds Gov. Gavin Newsom’s call for a federal investigation into possible market manipulation.
“Why did gas prices go up so much, in such a short period of time?” asked Harmon. “What’s really
going on there? And what is the remedy, and who needs to be held accountable?”
Prices are now coming down, but the CPUC said the price of natural gas on the West coast peaked in December - at eight times what people in the Southeastern U.S. were paying.
The agency voted to accelerate a tax credit for millions of Californians that will take $90 to $120 off their gas bills in March.
Dominic Frongillo, executive director and co-founder of the group Elected Officials to Protect America, said he is convinced that the best way to protect people’s pocketbooks and the climate - is to transition away from oil and natural gas.
“The fossil fuel indus-
try’s volatility - and collusion, in many cases - is causing prices to spike,” said Frongillo. “And the only way to end this is to accelerate our transition to 100% clean energy.”
More than 440 California elected officials have signed an open letter to the governor, asking for a plan to phase out oil-and-gas production in the state.

istrator of the Year. “Please don’t ever change my job — I have the best job in the district because I get to live out my passion every day and love on people. My team and I love to instill hope in everyone we meet.”
Gomez said Willis is “a woman of great empathy, compassion and wisdom. Among the more than 3,000 administrators in Riverside County, your outstanding contributions mean that you are the one — the 2023 Certificated Administrator of the Year. Not only does her team offer supports, but, more importantly, they teach families how to advocate for themselves, and provide them with tools that will help them gain their long-term independence.”
Classified Administrator of the Year
Although Craig Petinak was hired in 2013 as the Office of Education’s first director of public relations, his career as a communications professional in education began at San Bernardino Valley College where he served as director of marketing and public relations from 2008-13, officials said. Throughout his career, Petinak has held several leadership roles including treasurer of the Public Relations Society of America’s Inland Empire
Chapter, treasurer of the Community College Public Relations Organization, and he was a member of the National Council of Marketing and Public Relations.
Petinak’s penchant for creative storytelling has helped him to build an award-winning communications team at the county’s education department, officials said.
“My team fulfills the communication needs of the Riverside County Superintendent of Schools and the programs and services of the Riverside County Office of Education while partnering with districts to amplify the stories of students and educators in all 23 districts throughout the county,” Petinak said in a statement. “I have had the honor of participating in hundreds of these presentations to my colleagues, and it is truly humbling to be on the receiving end of this special recognition. Thank you to everyone for trusting us with telling your stories.”
After Gomez announced Petinak’s award on Thursday, the superintendent said: “Craig is very wise, diligent and passionate about his work. He truly cares about the students in Riverside County, and that passion shines in his work.”

Other important demographic factors include generational differences, gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic situation, and proximity to a coastline where natural disasters have increased in frequency. Economic reliance on fossil fuels also plays a large role in whether people support or oppose climate change measures on both a local and federal level. In order to parse how people in Riverside County feel about climate change policies, Stacker compiled statistics using data from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication. The data is from a survey conducted in 2021.
Nationally, 71.8% of people think climate change is happening. California has the 16th highest percentage of residents in the country who think their governor should be doing more to address global warming. Riverside County has the 22th highest percentage of residents in the state who are worried about global warming.
side County Educators of the Year will be determined later this month are classified employee, site support employee, classified administrator, principal and confidential employee.
Educators of the Year are chosen from over 36,000 educational employees that the county employs, according to Office of Education. The application process begins with nominations by teachers, classified employees and school district administrators. Applications are then submitted to the Office of Education, and an outside selection committee
selects the honorees before the superintendent makes the announcements.
Along with the 2023 Riverside County Teachers of the Year named in mid-2022 to align with the California top teacher competition, the Riverside County Educators of the Year will be honored at the a luncheon May 2 at the Riverside Convention Center.
The 2023 Riverside County Teachers of the Year are:

Firefighters were ultimately able to stretch hoses down to the fire. Sheriff’s deputies temporarily closed access to the intersections of 64th and Corey and 63rd and Downey streets due to the hose lays, officials said.
No homes or structures were in the fire’s path.
The blaze was under control, and firefighters were completing their mop-up, by 4:45 p.m.
There was no word on what might have triggered the blaze. Transients often set up encampments along the river bottom year-round, and warming, cooking and debris fires are common.
Both the city of Riverside and county recently implemented regulations prohibiting use of the space by the homeless.

Rivera’s mother Martha Sakowicz testified through tears Thursday morning in the penalty phase — in which jurors will recommend whether Larin-Garcia should be sentenced to death or life in prison without the possibility of parole — about how great her relationship was with her youngest son, how he would text her every day, how he loved to cook steak, how he wanted to go to school to become a physical therapist and about how he always helped whoever he could.
“One thing about Carlos is he was always, always trying to help people. ... One time, I came home and he was making hot dogs, a bunch of hot dogs,” Sakowicz said. “And I asked him, ‘What’re you doing?’... He said, ‘This is for the homeless mom. They have nothing to eat, you should see them.’ ... He was always looking out for people at the park.”
Sakowicz said that the last time she spoke to her son was the night before he died; that it was the last night he told her he loved her and that after he was gone, it was the hardest thing for her -- she developed insomnia, anxiety and depression.
“As a grandma, it kills me to see my granddaughter without a father. It kills me to see them run to the ashes and say, ‘Daddy, daddy,’” she said. “My life is never ever gonna be the same, you know. I feel like half of my brain is missing.”
Theresa Acosta, Rivera’s girlfriend, went to the stand next and said that she and the victim met through mutual friends in 2017, became inseparable, eventually fell in love and moved in together in 2018. Their daughter was born five months after he was killed.
“It’s been hard, but I have her. I’m able to look at her and just see him in her,” Acosta said. “It makes me happy that I’m able to still keep him alive.”
During opening statements in the penalty phase Wednesday morning, Deputy District Attorney Samantha Paixao asked jurors to consider the significance of the lives lost and on families who had to continue their lives without being able to reach out to the victims.
“You’re going to be making a personal decision,” Paixao told jurors, adding that she will ask them again

at the end of the penalty phase to consider that “The only just verdict, the only just imposition of a sentence for Jose Vladimir LarinGarcia, for what he did, for taking Yuliana Garcia, for taking Carlos Campos Rivera, Jacob Montgomery, and Juan Duarte Raya, is the greater punishment; the punishment of death.”
Larin-Garcia’s defense attorney, John Dolan, told jurors he was shocked at the unanimous decision to convict the defendant of four murders, but asked jurors to again consider the evidence, that on the night of the fatal shootings, LarinGarcia was “a 19-year-old kid” and intoxicated, and that the defendant also has a family who will be affected by the decision.
“It’s a sad set of circumstances,” Dolan said. “I ask you that you be very careful in your decision. We don’t want five families, with the addition of Mr. LarinGarcia’s family, to suffer the same circumstances. Please consider the things I’ve discussed with you.”
At the end of the closing statements, Dolan asked jurors to consider sparing Larin-Garcia’s life.
Larin-Garcia was sitting in a stopped car with Montgomery, Raya and Garcia on the night of the killings, and first fatally shot Rivera, who was leaning against the stopped vehicle, according to prosecutors. The driver sped away after that shooting, but Larin-Garcia — who was in the back seat — then fatally shot the trio inside the vehicle to eliminate witnesses and jumped from the moving car before it crashed into a parked Jeep at Sunny Dunes and El Placer roads.
Montgomery, Raya and Garcia were found in a green Toyota Corolla that crashed at Sunny Dunes and El Placer roads about 11:40 p.m. the night of the killings, while Rivera was found on a street about a half-mile away, according to prosecutors.
Dolan unsuccessfully tried to point blame for the killing on then-15-year-old John Olvera, saying he made incriminating statements and social media posts that amounted to a confession to the killings, and created a scene for the jury in which Olvera was in the middle seat of the car shooting the others, and that LarinGarcia jumped from the vehicle when the killings began.
Olvera testified in both of Larin-Garcia’s trials, denying culpability in the
2 women convicted of killing casino visitor during robbery
By City News ServiceTwo women who robbed and fatally assaulted a senior at the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula were convicted Wednesday of first-degree murder and other offenses.
A Murrieta jury deliberated two hours before finding Candace Tai Townsell, 42, and Kimesha Monae Williams, 38, both of Moreno Valley, guilty of the 2019 slaying of 84-yearold Afaf Anis Assad of Long Beach.
Along with the murder count, jurors convicted the pair of robbery and elder abuse, as well as a special circumstance allegation of killing during the course of a robbery, with sentence-enhancing great bodily injury allegations.
Testimony lasted for nearly a month, with closing statements by the prosecution and defense on Tuesday. Riverside County Superior Court Judge Timothy Freer ordered jurors to return to the Southwest Justice Center Wednesday morning to begin deliberations.
A sentencing date for the defendants was pending. Both women are expected to receive life in prison without the possibility of parole. They’re being held without bail -Townsell at the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning, and Williams at the Robert Presley Jail in Riverside
case, saying his comments amounted to empty boasting or were simply lyrics by rapper Young Boy.
Paixao argued that there was no evidence to suggest a fifth person was in the vehicle, pointing to eyewitness testimony of only four people being present and said she doesn’t know why Olvera would get on social media and falsely confess to the killings, but said he had done it before when he lied and took credit for a murder at Zelda’s nightclub and when he lied about being in custody “to impress chicks.”
Paixao insisted that Larin-Garcia — not Olvera — was in the car the night of the killings, and said the defendant was clearly attempting to flee or hide on three occasions following the shootings. She also said the victims were deliberately killed, supporting allegations that the defendant was lying in wait, acted with intent to kill, with deliberation and with premeditation.
“Some people are just bad,” Paixao told jurors. “Some people just want to kill, and when you kill four people within a matter of minutes, you like to kill.”
Paixao said that someone who pulls a trigger and shoots each victim two times knows what they’re doing and is acting with intent to kill. Photos were then shown to jurors of each victim from when their injuries were evaluated by an expert as Paixao listed how each victim was fatally injured.
“We know he took (Montgomery) by surprise because look at where Jacob was shot (twice on the right side of his face.). Look how he was murdered,” Paixao said. “Sitting in the car next
to Vladimir Larin-Garcia. There is no other way that this execution happens unless he had a secret plan, then he took them by surprise.”
According to Paixao, blood on Larin-Garcia’s shoes and jacket had the DNA of the victims on it, placing him inside the vehicle at the time of the murders. She further argued that bullet casings at the crime scene matched those that were found in the defendant’s bedroom and vehicle, further attaching him to the events.
Dolan asserted that the blood spatter identified on Larin-Garcia’s clothing did not prove murder, and there was no search for a gun the prosecution claims he used in the crime, only bullet casings.
Larin-Garcia was found by officers hiding under a pickup just blocks from the scene of the Corolla crash. He was taken to Desert Regional Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries but was not arrested.
Larin-Garcia left the hospital after being questioned by Palm Springs police, going to a friend’s house. Det. Steve Grissom testified that the friend went to his mother’s home to retrieve fresh clothing and an ID card for the defendant.
Later in the day, the friend also bought bandages for Larin-Garcia, along with a Greyhound bus ticket to Florida under the name “Joseph Browning,” Grissom testified.
At some point that day, Larin-Garcia shaved his head to change his appearance, then the friend drove him to the bus station in Indio, where Larin-Garcia was arrested, Grissom testified.
According to the prosecution’s trial brief, Townsell and Williams were trawling the casino in the predawn hours of Aug. 31, 2019, stealing a woman’s mobile phone and trying to scope out other targets for theft.
“Both have a long-documented history of theft crimes throughout Riverside County,” according to the brief.
The defendants were preparing to leave around 7:30 a.m., and about the time they reached the front exit, they observed Afaf Assad arrive with her 92-year-old husband, who walked toward a gaming room while his wife stepped into a ladies restroom, prosecutors said.
Pechanga security cameras captured all of the goingson outside the lavatory, including images of Townsell and Williams “diverting their path (to the exit) to follow Mrs. Assad into the restroom,” the brief stated.
The women stationed themselves inside the bathroom, near the exit, as the victim walked into a stall. They were observed by two casino patrons, one of whom described them as loitering for “no real purpose,” according to the brief.
One witness went into a stall, and the other left, after which the two defendants, Assad and the remaining witness were the only parties in the restroom.
According to court papers, as Assad left her stall and headed toward a sink, the defendants pounced on her. One ripped her pink purse from her grasp with such force as to leave a severe bruise on her left arm, and the other knocked the senior to the bathroom floor, where the back of her head impacted with the same force that might result in blunt force injuries from “a motor vehicle accident, or an unprotected fall from standing height,” according to the brief.
The witness in the bathroom stall heard the commotion and what sounded like “vomiting or throwing up,” followed by a loud thud, court papers stated.
The defendants prevented a custodian from entering the restroom before bolting out of the space, all of which was caught on security cameras.
“Townsell was observed skipping and waving her hands in a celebratory fashion,” according to the brief.
The custodian found Assad bleeding and unconscious, prompting her to alert casino security and medical personnel, who attempted to render aid until Riverside County Fire Department paramedics reached the location.
The victim was taken to Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar, where she died three days later, never having regained consciousness. She had suffered a brain hemorrhage, according to prosecutors.
The defendants’ gain from the robbery was between $800 and $1,200, investigators said.
Sheriff’s Sgt. Steve Brosche said detectives relied on surveillance camera images and other leads that pointed to Townsell and Williams as the assailants, and both were taken into custody less than a week later — Townsell in Hemet, and Williams in Perris.
Williams, who is reportedly related to Los Angeles Clippers player Kawhi Leonard, has prior convictions for grand theft, burglary and auto theft, according to court records.
Records show Townsell has priors for theft and driving on a suspended license.
