By City News Service

Three men were killed in a midair collision between two Cal Fire helicopters over Cabazon while engaged in firefighting operations, eliciting condolences Monday from the governor and others.

"On behalf of all Californians, our thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with the loved ones, friends and Cal Fire colleagues mourning the loss of Assistant Chief (Josh) Bischof, fire Capt. (Timothy) Rodriguez and pilot (Tony) Sousa," Gov. Gavin Newsom said.

"This terrible tragedy is a reminder of the dangers our courageous firefighters face daily while working to keep our communities safe. We owe them our deepest respect and gratitude and will always honor their bravery and sacrifices."

Riverside County Supervisor Manuel Perez,

whose 4th District encompasses Cabazon, said he was saddened to learn of the loss of "three members of our fire service (who) perished protecting us from fire."

"It is a horrible tragedy when those who serve the community do not return home to their families," he said. "I pray for their families and the rest of the Riverside County Fire Department."

National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Eleazar Nepomuceno held a news briefing in Cabazon late Monday afternoon, saying a team consisting of two NTSB investigators, a Federal Aviation Administration representative and personnel from the helicopter manufacturers, Bell and Sikorsky, were gathering preliminary information on the midair collision.

"They were on a conver-

gence flight, and they impacted," Nepomuceno said of the choppers. "Our plan is to document the wreckage before it is relo-

Biden expresses sorrow over loss of local firefighters

By City News Service

President Joe Biden offered condolences Tuesday to those impacted by the deaths of two firefighters and a pilot killed in a midair collision between two Cal Fire helicopters over Cabazon.

"Every day, firefighters run toward danger, while everyone else runs the other way, because being a firefighter is not what they do — it's who they are," according to statement by Biden released by the White House. "This tragedy is yet another example of their incredible bravery. As wildfires have intensified in recent years, more and more firefighters have put themselves in harm's way to defend our families and communities from out-ofcontrol fires. ...

"We owe it to our firefighters and their families to do everything we can to prevent these dangerous fires in the first place. Three families of three brave Americans have an empty seat around the dinner table tonight, and our hearts go out to them."

Cal Fire Assistant Chief Josh Bischof, 46, of Menifee, Cal Fire Capt. Timothy Rodri-

cated to (a secure hangar) in Arizona."

He said a "drone team," utilizing remotely piloted unmanned aerial vehicles,

would be working Tuesday to survey the crash site.

Nepomuceno emphasized that the immediate objective is to procure "perishable" evidence that will vanish once the wreckage is removed and the crash site is cleaned up.

Federal investigators are encouraging anyone who might have information to contact them at witness@ ntsb.gov.

Agencies throughout the region expressed sorrow over the deadly accident. Murrieta Fire & Rescue posted to social media, sending "deepest condolences" to the family, friends and colleagues of the fallen crew.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with you," the agency said.

From the Palm Springs Fire Department: "Our

heartfelt condolences for the line-of-duty deaths of two Cal Fire firefighters and a contract pilot. This tragedy has left us deeply shaken and mourning the loss of our brave colleagues."

The Riverside County Sheriff's Department posted a Facebook message, saying, "On behalf of the entire sheriff's office, we extend our deepest sympathy to the families (of the fallen)."

The Orange County Fire Authority posted a message offering condolences. "Our hearts are with our Cal Fire family and all the loved ones, friends and colleagues impacted by this tragic loss," the agency said.

Chinese printmaking exhibition at USC PAM shines a light on undervalued art form

May S. Ruiz MayChu@att.net

USCPacificAsia Museum (USC PAM) continues its mission and vision to further intercultural understanding through the arts of Asia and the Pacific Islands with “Imprinting in Time: Chinese Printmaking at the Beginning of a New Era.”

On view from Aug. 11 through Nov. 12, the exhibition looks at printmaking by Chinese artists from the 1980s to the present and analyzes the unique narrative of the medium within the contexts of cultural, academic, sociopolitical, and economic changes in recent Chinese history.

“Imprinting in Time” is curated by Danielle Shang, a Los Angeles-based art historian and exhibition organizer. Her research focuses on the impact of globalization, urban renewal, social change, and class restructuring on art-making and the narrative of art history.

The emergence of etching, lithograph, silkscreen, and digital devices in the 1980s added new energy to the medium. Most artists included in USC PAM’s exhibition were academically trained printmakers; however, a few have established their reputations in other media and explored printmaking as an additional aesthetic in their practices.

Museum curator Rebecca Hall states, “‘Imprinting in Time’ is an exciting exhibition for USC Pacific Asia Museum to share with the public because all but

a few of the artworks in the exhibition come from the museum’s permanent collection. Formed around the recently donated Charles T. Townley collection of contemporary Chinese art, Danielle Shang did an outstanding job of teasing out the strengths of the Townley collection and finding further artworks to supplement her thesis in PAM’s permanent collection, some of which have not been exhibited in many years.”

“Printmaking, particularly woodcut, is uniquely important in modern Chinese history because it was instrumental for disseminating ideologies of the nation-state to the masses from the 1930s to the 1980s,” says Shang. “It is a perfect example of hybridizing a traditional Chinese medium that has been around for centuries with modernist techniques from the West.”

The exhibition will show 60 works organized into three sections: the Modern Woodcut Movement; the Post Mao Era; and Crisis and Hope Since the 1990s.

Modern Woodcut Movement

Among all the printmaking techniques, the woodblock is most significant in modern Chinese history for articulating social commentary and nationalistic sentiments. The monumental figure who initiated the movement was not a visual artist but the writer, collector, and activist Lu Xun

(1881-1936).

In the early 1930s, Lu introduced Käthe Kollwitz’s woodcut to Chinese artists, who immediately embraced the medium for its effectiveness in engaging a broad public. These artists began to produce prints with simplified but highly suggestive forms and figures to depict the violence, injustice, and angst that plagued Chinese society.

After Mao Zedong’s speech at the Yan’an Forum on Literature and Art (1942), woodcut was given singular priority, and its subjects shifted from social critiques to celebrating the bright new life under Communist control. Subsequently, the woodcut printmaking that hybridized German Expressionism, Soviet Social Realism, Chinese traditional water-based printing techniques, and folk arts’ vernacular styles was established as a major discipline in all art schools and employed largely for propaganda purposes to serve the state after the creation of the People’s Republic of China in 1949.

Post Mao Era

After 1976, while many artists continued to produce works that celebrated the socialist vision of modernity, others began to explore the notion of individuality and new graphic effects. The rise of etching, lithograph, silkscreen, and digital devices added new energy to the medium. Meanwhile, distinct regional schools emerged, notably the Great

Northern Wilderness and the Yunnan School.

Contrary to earlier times when human figures and narrative themes dominated printed pictures, landscapes, and abstract compositions became popular. Some artists intentionally evoked the traditional Chinese ideal of integrating calligraphy, painting, and poetry when combining images with texts.

Shang expounds on the regional schools, the art style, and the artists who emerged during this period.

“Since the late 1970s, artists in Yunnan Province, including Zheng Xu and He Kun, turned their attention to local ethnic groups, neighboring Southeast Asian cultures and the ancient Chinese technique known as heavy color painting that emphasizes line drawing and bold colors. Figures depicted by the Yunnan School artists are flat, geometric, semiabstracted, and energized with bright colors, reminiscent of cubism and fauvism. Motifs incorporated into their works are derived not only from ancient Buddhist cave paintings but also from local traditional garments and decorations.”

“In the 1980s, Zheng and He among other printmakers in Yunnan began to create reduction woodcuts to produce heavy color prints,” Shang adds. “A color reduction woodcut is simply a relief print that is carved, inked, and printed

multiple times using only one piece of woodblock. The entire edition must be printed at once since carving destroys the wood incrementally.

“The artists also established several workshops in the region to invite people from rural communities to make art, positioning printmaking at the intersections of arts practice, social engagement, and cultural restoration.”

Crisis and Hope Since the 1990s

The 1990s saw China’s rapid transformation into a hyper-consumer society. As works of art entered the market as commodities, prints failed to gain recognition as valuable cultural products. To survive, printmakers had to switch to other media, teach, or hold positions at statesponsored cultural organi-

zations, whose programs continued instructing conservative subjects and styles. In response to the new conditions, a few artists have moved beyond technical concerns to search for ways to advance the medium and participate in global conversations. Their practices shine a new light on printmaking.

It’s unfortunate that despite its fascinating ancestry and storied past, printmaking in China did not flourish in the new millennium. This exhibition at USC Pacific Asia Museum may yet demonstrate that prints – which have since been relegated to being disposable merchandise – and printmaking can be rejuvenated through a fresh audience. At the very least, it may engender a newfound appreciation for the art form.

Ontario Museum of History & Art hosting grand opening of ‘Built on Water’ exhibit

In 2017, the Ontario Museum of History & Art began developing a new permanent exhibition, which was inspired by efforts underway to redesign the museum’s landscaping with native plants and water-saving features. Curatorial staff realized there was a bigger story to tell about water and its importance in Ontario. In 2018, the Museum was awarded a Museums for America grant from the Institute of Library and Museum Services for this new exhibit. “Built on Water: Ontario and Inland Southern California” focuses on the history, present and future of water in the Ontario region and the Chino Basin. “Built on Water” brings together the story of local water agencies, regional tribes, agriculture, water conservation and the establishment of the City of Ontario. Developed collaboratively with local archivists, water agencies, teachers, tribal members, college students and historians, the 1,200-square-foot exhibition also has educational programming and interactive components which allow for learning and discovery for all ages.

Trump attorney John Eastman seeks delay of disbarment hearings

By City News Service

Now that it appears former Chapman University law school dean John Eastman has been identified as "Co-Conspirator 2" in the federal indictment of former President Donald Trump for election fraud the attorney is seeking to have his State Bar Court disbarment proceedings suspended.

The disbarment proceedings began in June and were set to resume Aug. 22, but on Friday Eastman's attorney filed a motion to suspend them for three months. The state Bar's prosecutors are set to reply Aug. 16.

The state Bar is seeking to disbar Eastman for pushing "baseless legal theories" to stymie the certification of President Joe Biden's election.

"A stay is warranted in the interests of justice, as recent developments in the investigation have renewed and intensified (Eastman's) concerns that the

federal government might bring charges against him and that he will therefore need to invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self- incrimination in this proceeding," attorney Randall Miller wrote in a motion.

Eastman was not named in the indictment, but special counsel Jack Smith identifies Eastman as "Co-Conspirator 2" by quoting from Eastman's speech to the crowd on Jan. 6 that included some of the mob that attacked the Capitol as Congress was certifying Biden's election.

"The indictment heightens the potential for (Eastman) to be charged as a criminal defendant," Miller said. "Conspicuously, the charging document does not refer to the unnamed co-conspirators as 'unindicted co-conspirators' — a term commonly used to refer to a person who allegedly took part in a conspiracy to commit a

crime, but who is not officially charged.

"This omission, among other things, raises the specter of a superseding indictment being handed up in the future naming one or more co-conspirators as additional defendants. Indeed, the issuance of superseding indictments that change the status of co-conspirators from 'unindicted' to 'indicted' is accepted practice."

Miller argued that when "there are parallel criminal and civil proceedings, the defendant faces the difficult choice of asserting his Fifth Amendment right at the risk of losing a non-criminal trial (here, a disciplinary proceeding), or waiving his constitutional right against self-incrimination. Courts have recognized the need to stay civil proceedings to avoid prejudicing the defendant's rights."

Miller also said that a "criminal case receive precedence over this disci-

plinary proceeding."

On Thursday, two days after the indictment was handed down, an interview Eastman did with Tom Klingenstein, chairman of the board of the Claremont Institute, a conservative think tank, was posted on YouTube to delve into Eastman's thoughts on the presidential election.

In the interview, Eastman insisted he was pushing for a delay in the certification of election and that he had a legitimate legal argument for why slates of alternate electors could be considered.

When Klingenstein asked Eastman about the potential for rioting if Biden's election was overturned in favor of Trump, Eastman argued that the country should never bow to "mob rule... that's the antithesis of the rule of law."

Eastman said the country's founders "lay this case out" in the Declaration of Independence that "at some

point if the abuses become so intolerable that it's not only their right, but their duty to abolish the existing government. And that is the question. Have the abuses become so intolerable that we have to be willing to push back."

Eastman added, "Trying to stop an illegal election is

not a coup."

Multiple officials within the Trump administration, including then-U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, told Trump there was not enough fraud to affect the outcome of the election. Multiple lawsuits challenging the election results were also thrown out.

Monrovia Old Town report: Teen Scene — yes! Teen scream — no thank you

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

Let’s talk about your teenagers for a minute. As a mother of four, I know that even the worst-behaved kids are still good kids. Some kids are too smart for their own good. They get bored; they can be understimulated. Some are left to their own devices, with very little supervision and we all know that a lack of supervision leads to issues in kids from crawling age to voting, give or take. Some kids act like brats because they want attention and crave structure, whether they know it or not.

If you have teenagers, you know that they can often be jerks at home. That’s because they know we love them, and they can test boundaries because our parental love is unconditional. When your kids are jerks at home and polite to others, that is a sure sign they are good kids and that you’re on the right track. So many things are going on in their mixed-up bodies: hormones, school stress, social stress, social media,

confusion about their bodies, their skin; so much pressure coming at them from every which way. Four out of five dentists say that most of the kids’ unruly behavior is age appropriate and a stage they will grow out of. Rarely, you will come across a teen that is just incorrigible, and well, God bless them too.

All of this is just a bit of generalizing and my humble opinion. I could go on and on. I could dive deeper, but I choose not to because parenting is private. It is no one else’s business how we choose to love, parent and/ or discipline our offspring. Unless that is, they hang out at Vons.

Go to Vons on a Friday night and you will see it all. Super sweet, polite kids that are shopping for a snack, a soda or maybe some shortbread for their nana. You’ll see loud ones, letting us all know they can curse extremely well while forgetting we probably know their parents. There are the rude ones that will skateboard

into you, block your way, throw things and be utter a-holes.

Lastly, there are the shoplifters. These kids can usually be found in the alcohol or candy aisle, which is so apropos; trying to grow up faster, yet still just a kid. I honestly think that Vons should have video cameras with a live feed that we can all watch. That way, we can all see that, yes indeed, our angels are simply perfect (insert sarcasm).

These kids do not need anything from Vons. They need some Teen Scene. Every Friday night in Library Park, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., your teen can participate FREE OF CHARGE! There are fun activities, food, music, arts & crafts, fun, good-spirited competitions, age-appropriate tomfoolery and comradery. Best of all, this funfest is supervised by our awesome Community Center volunteers and all ages are welcome.

Vons is a gateway activity. Teen Scene is a rad activity! Let’s get all the

kids to go and maybe we can convince the Community Center to make Teen Scene an all-year Friday event instead of just a summer offering.

If you are the parent of a younger child and are dreading the teen years, might I suggest you take your toddler to Monrovia Munchkins? Get your child involved early and miss

the Vons bullsh*tery altogether. Monrovia Munchkins is for cutie pies ages two through four, at the Monrovia Community Center, from 9 a.m. – 9:45 a.m. every Saturday (7/158/12). Your munchkin will enjoy story time, singalongs and the making of messy masterpieces. Come play with other caregivers and kids.

Fun isn’t the only name of this game. This is also an excellent way to start your child on their road to socialization skills and the duration is perfect for their toddler attention spans. The city of Monrovia: such a wonderful place to live. So many fun activities for all ages. Today’s Monrovia Munchkin may well be at Wine Walk 2045!

Like most people, I find it unfortunate when a valuable object is stolen from anyone. Thus, I’m sorry that thieves stole a cross valued at $15,000 from St. James United Methodist Church in Pasadena.

Yet, shouldn’t it be an inviolate custom that all churches not have any valuable objects on their premises … but should instead follow the advice which Jesus himself gave to his disciples in Matthew 6:19-20?

“Let us not lay up for ourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal” (emphasis mine)...

“But lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven where neither mold nor rust doth

corrupt, and where thieves neither break through nor steal..”

At the risk of sounding insolent, I’d like to think that if I were the Rev. Connie Tamkin, I’d replace the $15,000 cross with a gnarled wooden one to better reflect the one where Jesus met His tragic death.

And furthermore, I’d not spend one cent on security devices, nor have the church’s fence raised higher to safeguard its valuables from burglars. Instead, I’d sell the rest of the valuable stuff in the Lord’s house, and use the proceeds to help the poor.

Do you agree that’s what Jesus would do?

William Friedkin, 'Exorcist' and 'French Connection' director, dies at 87

By City News Service

Film director William Friedkin, who made his mark on Hollywood in the 1970s with his Oscar-winning "The French Connection" and the supernatural horror movie "The Exorcist," died Monday in Los Angeles at age 87.

His death was confirmed by his wife, former producer and studio head Sherry Lansing, according to the Hollywood Reporter, which added that, according to Lansing, he died of heart failure and pneumonia at his Bel Air home.

Friedkin was part of a new generation of Hollywood filmmakers that also included Peter Bogdanovich, Francis Ford Coppola and Hal Ashby.

"The French Connection," released in 1971, was Friedkin's first big-budget movie. It was based on Robin Moore's best-seller about two real-life New York City narcotics cops on the trail of international heroin dealers, and was a critical and commercial success.

Friedkin earned an Academy Award for directing, and the film won four other Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Gene Hackman. The movie is also remembered for featuring one of the most thrilling car chases in cinema history.

"I never considered myself the great American

anything. Not then and not now. I consider myself just another member of the crew, the highest paid member of the crew," Friedkin told The Los Angeles Times in 1989.

"Winning the Academy Award was an enormous honor. But I thought I had won it prematurely, that I hadn't paid enough dues at that point."

For his next project, Friedkin chose another best-seller — William Peter Blatty's "The Exorcist." The story focuses on a young girl, played by Linda Blair, who is believed to be possessed by the devil. Released in 1973, it became one of the highest-grossing films of all time and earned 10 Academy Award nominations, including one for best director.

His other movies included 1977's "Sorcerer," 1985's "To Live and Die in L.A.," 2006's "Bug" and 2000's "Rules of Engagement."

Friedkin was born on Aug. 29, 1935, in Chicago. After seeing the movie "Citizen Kane" as a boy, he became fascinated with movies and began working for WGN-TV immediately after high school.

He started his directorial career doing live television shows and documentaries, including "The People vs. Paul Crump," which won several awards. Friedkin

also directed one of the last episodes of "The Alfred Hitchcock" Hour in 1965.

In 1967 he moved into film directing with the Sonny-and-Cher musical "Good Times," and followed up in 1968 with "The Birthday Party," an adaptation of Harold Pinter's play. Also in 1968 Friedkin directed "The Night They Raided Minsky's," a comedy about an innocent Amish girl who becomes a burlesque dancer in 1920s New York City.

He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1997 — and flowers will be placed on the star, located at 6925 Hollywood Blvd., on Monday

"Oscar-winning director William Friedkin is known for some of the most historic films in the movie genre. We are saddened that such a huge talent is gone and he will be missed and always remembered for the great contributions he made to the movie industry," Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez said in a statement. "We placed his Walk of Fame star next to the star of his wife, film studio executive Sherry Lansing on Aug. 14, 1997."

Friedkin was married to newscaster Kelly Lange and actresses Lesley-Anne Down and Jeanne Moreau. He is survived by his fourth wife, Lansing, and two sons.

Cathedral City shooting

Continued From Page 1

The two fled the scene as the host screamed to alert the other guests about what just happened, Barsamian said. The defendant returned to the home two times, once to pick up two friends and again shortly after midnight Aug. 19, 2019, when Sosa started approaching him and Jimenez made it known that he was armed.

"The defendant issued a warning, 'I'ma pop you. Get back,' and then he started to count like he was a parent disciplining a child," Barsamian told jurors. "Then he fired the fatal shot that killed Alberto Sosa ... and he left him there, screaming in pain in the street, in the gutter, like trash that he was discarding. All over some stolen property."

Jimenez kept saying he didn't steal anything and left the party because he was being wrongfully accused, Jimenez's defense attorney, John Patrick told jurors. He subsequently returned to explain himself, when

Sosa began to "aggressively" approach his vehicle.

"Mr. Sosa is throwing insults at him, demanding that he give back the stolen property ... and then this countdown took place, but the context of the countdown is important. ... He's counting down trying to give a fair warning," Dolan said. "And then when the guy gets close enough to him, he shoots him. He shoots him because he believes he's going to be shot by Mr. Sosa, that was what was in his mind."

Sosa was found suffering from gunshot wounds

Trial underway for felon accused in 2020 fatal shooting near Indio

By City News Service

at about 12:50 a.m. on a sidewalk in the 68300 block of Madrid Road after police received multiple 911 calls about a disturbance in the area, according to the Cathedral City Police Department. Officers began life-saving efforts until paramedics arrived and took him to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, where he died.

Jimenez was arrested Sept. 3, 2019, when he was tracked to a residence in the 1900 block of Clary Drive in Needles, according to police.

Aconvicted felon fatally shot a man because he felt disrespected when the victim asked him to leave, a prosecutor told jurors Monday, but a defense attorney insisted that the case lacks critical evidence and false accusations by "shady people with shady stories."

Ruben Corria Esquivel Jr., 34, of Coachella, is charged with one felony count each of murder and being a convicted felon and narcotic addict in possession of a firearm, according to court records. He additionally faces a sentenceenhancing allegation of discharging a firearm causing great bodily injury.

The charges stem from the killing of 42-year-old Vincent "Chente" Aispuro on Feb. 21, 2020, in the 47600 block of Van Buren Street in an unincorporated area near Indio.

Deputy District Attorney Samantha Paixao told jurors Monday morning during opening statements that at around midnight that day, Esquivel and Martha Perez Espinoza, 43, of Coachella, went to a drug house where the victim resided, but were unwelcome.

Espinoza pleaded guilty in 2020 to being an accessory after the fact for her part in the shooting and was sentenced to 18 months in jail and 18 months of mandatory supervision upon her release.

"When they come to the residence, Chente tells them they've gotta go. And just because of that, because

someone told him they have to leave, Ruben Esquivel lifted up immediately a gun from his waistband and shot Chente right in the chest area," Paixao said. "One shot and Chente was gone forever simply because (Esquivel) was told he had to leave, and he didn't like that kind of disrespect."

Paixao said a different man, Rodolfo Diaz, was initially identified as the murder suspect by a witness, though an investigation showed that there was no link between him and the murder. She asked jurors to pay close attention to what witnesses say and how they say it, as she believes that jurors will ultimately hold the defendant accountable for the murder.

Esquivel's defense attorney Shaun Sullivan then told jurors that the murder took place in an area of the Coachella Valley that is full of "desperate" and "unreliable" people who will subsequently be going up to the witness stand to make up the case against his client.

"Without the testimony of these individuals, the state has no case, no physical evidence, no murder weapon, no finger prints no DNA, no surveillance footage. ... No physical evidence whatsoever, just the word of addicts who are hanging out at a crack den three years ago and whose stories shift like the tides," Sullivan told jurors.

There's nothing to deny that Chente was shot and killed that night, but why the shooting occurred and who

committed the shooting is unclear, Sullivan told jurors, who added that witnesses initial statements to law enforcement pointing to another man, Diaz.

Sullivan said Diaz was initially identified as the shooter and investigated the following day, when he was found in the same clothes that the shooter was described as wearing. He added that the clothes appeared to have blood on them that was never tested.

No arrest was made and after the investigation continued for a few months, the witness who initially identified Diaz as the suspect told investigators that Esquivel was actually the perpetrator, according to Sullivan, who added that he believes jurors will hear more witnesses with unreliable testimonies due to story changes and their drug use at the time.

He concluded his opening statement by asking jurors to not take everything that's said at face value and to use critical thinking to determine how much of the evidence can be trusted as proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Sheriff's deputies arrested Esquivel on July 24, 2020, in the 88000 block of Avenue 70 near Mecca, where he holed up for several hours before surrendering.

Esquivel has documented felony convictions in Riverside County that include attempted carjacking and multiple parole violations, court records show.

Attorney's illness prompts mistrial for pair accused of killing Hemet man

An attorney's illness and the prospect of an extended period of waiting for his recovery prompted a judge to declare a mistrial Monday in the murder trial of two men accused of severely beating and ultimately gunning down a 36-year-old Hemet man.

Alberto Franco, 27, of Hemet, and Christian Anselmo Gomez, 46, of Homeland, are accused in the 2020 slaying of Salvador Alvarez Cortez.

Both defendants are charged with first-degree murder, assault resulting in great bodily injury and attempted kidnapping, as well as sentence-enhancing gun and great bodily injury allegations. Franco is additionally charged with attempted carjacking.

Trial proceedings got underway about two weeks ago, and since then, there have been several delays.

During a conference Monday morning outside of the presence of jurors, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Mark Singerton was informed that Gomez's attorney required an extended absence for an unspecified illness.

"Our office made a motion to sever the two defendants, so we could continue and complete the trial for Franco," District Attorney's Office spokesman John Hall told City News Service. "However, the court denied that motion. The defense made a motion for a mistrial for both defendants, and the judge granted that motion."

Singerton scheduled a trial-setting conference for Oct. 10 at the Banning Justice Center.

Each defendant is being held in lieu of $1 million bail at the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta.

According to the prosecu-

By City News Service

tion, Franco and Gomez allegedly targeted Cortez because he had stolen property from Gomez, and the defendant wanted revenge, with Franco's help.

On the evening of Nov. 2, 2020, the pair allegedly found the victim at a residence adjacent to a strip mall in the 200 block of Stetson Avenue, near Magnolia Circle, and cornered him inside the garage.

Prosecutors allege Franco and Gomez pummeled the victim with metal pipes until he was able to escape, running to the mall, where he collapsed in front of a Mexican food restaurant.

Customers and employees came out to check on Cortez, whom one witness described as "having his head caved in" from the beating, according to the prosecution's trial brief.

As the witnesses began calling 911, the defendants

allegedly drove into the parking lot in Franco's Dodge Durango and confronted the victim again, with Gomez emerging from the SUV armed with an AR-15 rifle, the brief said.

People took refuge in the restaurant, as well as in their vehicles.

"The defendants then tried to grab the victim and pull him towards the Durango, which he fought back," according to court papers. "Two separate cell phone videos captured the next events. As Franco was pulling and fighting with the victim to get into the car, Gomez shot him. He fell to the ground, screaming in pain, and Gomez continued to fire shots into him, a total of 15 times."

Cortez died at the scene.

The defendants fled the location in the SUV, and a witness gave chase, trailing them until they stopped in

the middle of the street, and Franco allegedly leveled the AR-15 at him, at which point the man sped away, prosecutors said.

According to Hemet police

Lt. Nathan Miller, Franco lost control of the Durango moments later and slammed into a brick feature outside a residence in the 1400 block of South Palm Avenue, causing the SUV's engine to fail. The defendants ran away south-

bound.

Patrol officers converged on the location and initiated a search for the pair, which ended in the predawn hours the following day, when both were located hiding on Coral Avenue, where they were taken into custody without incident.

Neither defendant has documented prior felony convictions in Riverside County.

Train service along Perris Valley Line to be suspended this weekend

By City News Service

Metrolink service along the Perris Valley Line will be suspended this weekend for construction work, with no commuter trains available to retrieve or drop passengers at four stations between Riverside and Perris, officials said Monday.

"The weekend rail service shutdown is required for the 'Moreno Valley/March Field Station Improvements Project,'" according to a Riverside County Transportation Commission statement. "To ensure our construction crews' safety and completion of the work on time,

(we) have decided to close the Perris Valley Line for two days."

The locations impacted by the weekend suspension of service are Hunter Park in Riverside, the March Field stop in Moreno Valley, the downtown Perris station and the South Perris station, according to RCTC.

"During the closure, these stations will not have passenger rail service," the agency said. "Metrolink will provide alternate transportation to passengers who need to get to destinations serviced by the Perris Valley Line."

On Saturday and Sunday, crews will be extending the

current train platform at the March Field station, making improvements to a pedestrian crossing and upgrading drainage channels, officials said.

The $33 million Moreno Valley/March Field Station Improvements Project got underway in October 2022.

It entails elongating the

existing platform to enable passengers to enter or exit all cars in six-car trains, constructing a second train platform and modifying 2.5 miles of track to facilitate a future nine-mile doubletrack corridor.

The project is slated for completion in the first half of 2024.

2 arrested in connection with fatal shooting at Cathedral City Applebee's

By City News Service

Two men suspected in a fatal shooting during a fight at an Applebee's Grill & Bar in Cathedral City were in custody Tuesday.

Willie R. Bustamante, 33, and Antonio Portillo, 30, both of Cathedral City, were taken into custody on Monday after detectives arrested them at their respective residences, said Sgt. Albert Ruiz of the Cathedral City Police Department.

The fatal shooting

occurred at approximately 11:31 p.m. Saturday and Cathedral City Police Department officers responded to 32400 Date Palm Drive regarding a fight involving numerous people inside the restaurant.

During the altercation, one person pulled out a firearm and shot the victim, Ernesto Lazcano Arroyo, 31, a Cathedral City resident, according to police. Officers found Arroyo inside the restaurant with gunshot wounds.

Paramedics from the Cathedral City Fire Department took Arroyo to a hospital, where he died from his injuries, Ruiz said.

CCPD detectives conducted several interviews and worked several leads during their investigation. They worked with the Riverside County Gang Impact Team that conducted surveillance on Bustamante's residence in the 69100 block of Dinah Shore Drive, where they took him into custody.

Portillo was later taken

into custody. Detectives also obtained a warrant to search Bustamante's home, police said.

Bustamante was booked into the Larry D. Smith Detention Center on murder charges and Portillo was booked into the John J. Benoit Detention Center, also for murder, Ruiz said.

Anyone who has information related to this killing or believe they may have information was asked to call the CCPD at 760-770-0300, Cmdr. Rick

guez Jr., 44, and contract pilot Tony Sousa, 55, of Red Bluff, were fatally injured in the collision and fire just before 7 p.m. Sunday in the area of Pipeline Road and Apache Trail.

The victims were aboard a Bell 407 that collided with a Sikorsky S-64E Skycrane making water drops over the "Broadway Fire," which was held to 20 acres on a barren hillside. The two occupants of the Sikorsky were not hurt and landed without incident.

National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Eleazar Nepomuceno held a news briefing in Cabazon Monday, saying a team consisting of two NTSB investigators, a Federal Aviation Administration representative and personnel from the helicopter manufacturers, Bell and Sikorsky, were gathering preliminary information on the midair collision.

"They were on a convergence flight, and they impacted," Nepomuceno said of the choppers. "Our plan is to document the wreckage before it is relocated to (a secure hangar) in Arizona."

He said a "drone team," utilizing remotely piloted unmanned aerial vehicles would be surveying the crash site Tuesday.

Nepomuceno emphasized the immediate objec-

tive is to procure "perishable" evidence that will vanish once the wreckage is removed and the site is cleaned up.

Federal investigators are encouraging anyone who might have information to contact them at witness@ ntsb.gov.

The Bell helicopter crew was coordinating air operations over the fire. The chopper went down on a hillside, causing a fouracre blaze that was quickly knocked down, according to Cal Fire Southern Region Chief Dave Fulcher.

Nepomuceno said there was "minor damage" to the Skycrane, which was dispatched to the area two months ago for the duration of Southern California Wildfire Season.

It was not immediately clear why the choppers were not positioned at safer distances or altitudes.

Cabazon lies within the San Gorgonio Pass, with arching terrain both north and south, limiting maneuverability.

The two helicopters were among a half-dozen aircraft sent to the blaze, Fulcher said.

Gov. Gavin Newsom extended "heartfelt sympathies" Monday, saying the "terrible tragedy is a reminder of the dangers our courageous firefighters face daily while working to keep our communities safe."

Closing arguments are expected next week in the trial of a convicted felon accused of providing a fatal dose of fentanyl to a Temecula woman, in Riverside County's first fentanyl murder case to go before a jury.

Vicente David Romero, 34, is charged with murder, possession of controlled substances while armed, being a felon in possession of a loaded gun and possession of drug paraphernalia in the 2020 death of Kelsey King.

"It is a horrible tragedy when those who serve the community do not return home to their families," Supervisor Manuel Perez, whose Fourth District encompasses Cabazon, said. "I pray for their families and the rest of the Riverside County Fire Department."

Agencies throughout the region expressed sorrow. Murrieta Fire & Rescue posted to social media, sending "deepest condolences" to the family, friends and colleagues of the fallen crew.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with you," the agency said.

From the Palm Springs Fire Department: "Our heartfelt condolences for the line-of-duty deaths of two Cal Fire firefighters and a contract pilot. This tragedy has left us deeply shaken and mourning the loss of our brave colleagues."

The Orange County Fire Authority also posted a message offering condolences. "Our hearts are with our Cal Fire family and all the loved ones, friends and colleagues impacted by this tragic loss," the agency said.

Funeral arrangements for the men were pending.

The NTSB's preliminary report on the accident is expected to be published before the end of the month, while the final report could take up to two years to complete.

The prosecution and defense rested Monday, and Riverside County Superior Court Judge Timothy Freer had intended closing statements to proceed this week, but Romero's attorney fell ill, prompting the judge to tentatively schedule arguments for Aug. 15 at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta.

Romero is being held in lieu of $1 million bail at the Byrd Detention Center.

Among the roughly two dozen defendants who have been charged in fentanylrelated deaths countywide, Romero's is the first murder case to go to trial.

He and King were acquaintances, and according to the prosecution's trial brief, the two ran into each other in Temecula on June 16, 2020, both seeking to get high.

Romero was a reputed drug dealer, and on the day of the meeting, he had multiple fentanyl-laced M-30 pills, known on the street as "blues," in his backpack, prosecutors allege.

The defendant later admitted during an interview with sheriff's detectives that he and King went to a spot on Jefferson Avenue, underneath Interstate 15, where he crushed one of the pills and used a straw to snort the contents, according to the brief.

"King then snorted the other half of the pill," the brief said. "The defendant and King began to feel better and were laughing for about five minutes. The defendant

then remembered that he started sweating and feeling funny. He checked his phone camera to look at his face. That was the last thing that the defendant claimed he remembered before passing out."

He awoke hours later to find King unconscious, lying face down with her buttocks in the air, prosecutors said.

"The defendant remembered King being cold to the touch when he tried to shake her and wake her up," according to the narrative.

He walked to a Chevron gas station several blocks away on Rancho California Road and asked the attendant to call 911, then began vomiting uncontrollably, court papers said.

Deputies went to the Chevron and questioned Romero, who was leaning against a dumpster, throwing up. After confirming he was a probationer, the deputies searched his backpack and discovered a loaded handgun, as well as five "blues," according to the brief.

Romero told them about King, pointing out where he had left her. A patrol unit went to the location, and a deputy discovered the woman dead shortly after 9 p.m., prosecutors said.

"The defendant was transported to Temecula Valley Hospital, where he was treated for the ingestion of fentanyl, as well as methamphetamine," the brief stated.

A Riverside County Coroner's Office autopsy on the victim determined her

cause of death stemmed from the "effects of methamphetamine, heroin and fentanyl," court papers said.

While speaking with detectives, Romero allegedly acknowledged that King's death "is on me because I gave her the pills," according to the brief.

"The defendant confirmed that King had never used fentanyl before, but that she had taken shots of 'black,' referring to heroin," the prosecution wrote.

Court documents show Romero has prior convictions for assault, unlawful intercourse with a minor and burglary.

According to public safety officials, there were 503 confirmed fentanylrelated fatalities countywide last year, compared to just under 400 in 2021, a 200-fold increase from 2016, when there were only two.

Fentanyl is manufactured in overseas labs, principally in China, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, which says the synthetic opioid is smuggled across the U.S.Mexico border by cartels. The drug is 80-100 times more potent than morphine and can be mixed into any number of street narcotics and prescription drugs, without a user knowing what he or she is consuming.

Ingestion of only two milligrams can be fatal.

Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, statistics show.

Riverside County will host a free online food waste and food rescue class on Saturday, officials announced Tuesday.

The hour-long virtual class starts at 9 a.m., is accessible on any computer, tablet or smartphone and "is a great way to learn methods to get the most out of the food you purchase and create lasting habits that will keep food on your plate and out of the trash can,"

Janet Moreland, supervising recycling specialist with the Riverside County Department of Waste Resources, said in a statement.

An average family of four spends between

$1,500 and $2,000 annually on food they never eat, officials said. "If you’d like to save money and help the environment by wasting less food, then our food waste/food rescue virtual class is for you!"

Nationwide 119 billion pounds of food is wasted each year, which equates to 130 billion meals and more than $408 billion in food thrown away, according to Feeding America. Nearly 40% of all food in America is wasted, including about 42 billion pounds from noncommercial U.S. residences.

The county's foodmanagement class address-

es the food cycle from beginning to end, according to the county. The class

the NTSB and sheriff's officials.

"We have lost three great individuals," Cal Fire Southern Region Chief Dave Fulcher told reporters during an emotional briefing Monday morning.

The Bell 407 and Sikorsky S-64E collided while conducting operations connected with the "Broadway Fire," which scorched about 20 acres in the area of Broadway Street and Esperanza Avenue.

The Bell was piloted by Sousa, 55, with Bischof, 46, and Rodriguez, 44, serving in observational capacities, according to Fulcher. The helicopter crashed on a hillside, killing all three aboard. The crash caused a four-acre fire that was quickly knocked down, Fulcher said.

The Sikorsky, which was occupied by two people, landed without incident after the impact. Nepomuceno said there was "minor damage" to the Skycrane.

The Skycrane, which was dispatched to the area two months ago for the duration of Southern California Wildfire Season, was making drops over the blaze.

It was not immediately clear why the choppers were not positioned at safer distances or altitudes. Cabazon lies within the San Gorgonio Pass, with arching terrain both north and south, limiting maneuverability.

"Although this was a tragic event, it could have been worse," Fulcher said.

The two helicopters were among a half-dozen aircraft sent to the blaze, Fulcher said.

Michalea Barksdale, also known as Miichii Bee, 34, of Corona, was also ordered to pay restitution of $253,041 and forfeit $16,020, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Barksdale pleaded guilty in March in Los Angeles federal court to one count of bank fraud and one count of possession of 15 or more unauthorized access devices.

She worked the scheme with an ex-U.S. Postal Service mail carrier from South Los Angeles who admitted to stealing debit cards from the mail while on duty and giving them to Barksdale in exchange for cash and gifts.

Toya Hunter, 45, was sentenced in April to 15 months behind bars and ordered to pay $206,212 in restitution, federal prosecu-

tors said.

Hunter pleaded guilty in December to one federal count of bank fraud.

From January 2019 to May 2020, Hunter stole mail — including letters sent by the state EDD — and gave the stolen EDD debit cards as well as other credit cards to her co-defendant.

Barksdale used the last four digits of victims' Social Security numbers to activate the debit cards and create personal identification numbers to access funds, which were held at Bank of America, court papers show.

Barksdale then used the stolen EDD card to withdraw cash from a Bank of America

ATM located in Corona, prosecutors said.

Hunter helped Barksdale make withdrawals from 68 victims' accounts and stole about $145,191 from Bank of America, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

In July 2021, Hunter stole from the mail and fraudulently activated a stolen debit card containing COVID-19 pandemic unemployment relief money belonging to another victim.

Hunter used the card to make fraudulent purchases and cash withdrawals, stealing about $1,400 from Fiserv, a payment and mobile banking system, her plea agreement states.
