I hear ya mac! We'll just have to wait and see! :)

Here is alot more detailed info from another site:

Ventura County Sheriff's Deputies are investigating what they say was a homicide near Camarillo. They say a woman called 911 around 4:10 AM Wednesday and said that her husband had been shot. Deputies responded to the scene to investigate, and began looking for a suspect they described as a Hispanic man, around 30, with a shaved head and dark clothing. The Sheriff's Department says that Pleasant Valley Road between Las Posas and Poncho, and, Lewis Road between Pleasant Valley Road and Cawelti Road were closed for crime scene investigation and the search for a suspect. No other details are available right now. He was reportedly armed with a handgun.

Don't you just love the description? What the heck is going on at 4 a.m. in the morning, don't people sleep!! WTF!!???
I guess obviously shootings huh?

Good one Hueneme girl, I can already hear all those Cam people complaining "it's those people who moved to Cam from Ox". Face it people you have the same problem, it's everywhere! All of our cities/towns were beautiful at one point, but we always have someone who ruins it and it's not necessarily people who move in to the town.
As I was driving to work this morning from my SP I realized what a beautiful little town I lived in. I looked up in the sky and saw the hot air balloons looked all around me and realized what a pretty scene, trees, people already working picking those fruits, people taking their daily walks, until I saw the graffiti uuuhh killed it!

For anyone who lives in the area we all know this can't possibly be a random act of violence. The location of the shooting is just fields. Further down the road you have Casa Pacifica and CSUCI. It all sounds very suspect. Why would anyone be at that location at 4:00 in the morning? Why would they have a 5 year old in the car with them? Furthermore, for the shooter to be on foot is even more suspect. I look forward to hearing what really happened.

The police state they do not believe it is random. That implies they think the victim knew the shooter, or there was some kind of connection. It clearly seems if that is the case that both parties were likley doing some shady stuff. Why else would a father be pulled over at 4:30 AM with his family,by some farms, unless his car broke down on the way home from a party in Malibu.The location issue, Cam or Ox, is irrelevant. Living in Cam this shooting does not effect my perceived level of safety when I walk my dogs at night.

The Ventura County Sheriff's Department has identified the suspect in that shooting early Wednesday morning near Camarillo in which the 26-year-old victim was killed in front of his wife and child. They are looking for 38-year-old Victor Chavera, described as 5'7" tall, 150 pounds, with short dark hair, light mustache and dressed in dark clothing. He was last seen fleeing the area of Lewis Road south of Pleasant Valley Road shortly after 4 AM. Deputies say this was not a random act of violence, but they are not saying how they know the name of the killer, or the relationship between victim and suspect. They have not released the victim's name yet, but they say his wife and child were not injured in the shooting which happened in their SUV which had stopped while they were traveling northbound on Lewis Road south of Pleasant Valley Road. That stretch of roadway has been shut down since the killing as the crime scene is processed and they continue to search for the killer using blood hounds and a helicopter

Thanks BeaHappi - We were able to drop the kid off this am no problem though we had to go around the back way to get to the Y - so it is not completely locked down. My wife thinks I am over-reacting.

Just talked to the Y and the CSUCI police. Everyone at the Y is fine -seems like it is just out of the major area of concern - though they are on alert. No one else has pulled their kids out. The police focus seems to be on the industrial complex off of PV rd. The police have two command posts set up - they think the guy is still there. Looks like he would have a difficult time slipping out at this point. Hope they catch him. I am guessing domestic dispute.

where is Casitas Springs? ... Maybe this couple was going to LAX to take a flight to Mexico and the suspect is an uncle of the victim's wife. They picked up the suspect in Oxnard, while in the car the suspect and the victim had an argument and they pulled over to drop of the suspect and once off, he shot the victim... By looking at the picture it doesn't look like it was a drug deal gone wrong. But I do understand JR's point of view on the baby on board.

I wonder if maybe the deceased was driving to work, leaving the SUV to the wife and child. Or perhaps they were both going to work and taking their son to someone's house to watch him. There are lots of reasons to be up at 4 am on a weekday, especially if the deceased works in the fields or in landscaping.

The window being down, the suv at a stop - was he in an accident? Did the shooter come up to his window and ask for directions? Something had to make the victim roll down that window.

Too shoot him in front of his family is horrendous, his wife and little boy will forever be traumatized. For that alone, he should get the max.

My dad used to work graveyard and swing shift in industrial area in Oxnard. My mom would pack us kids up in the car (since at the time my parents only had one vehicle) and drive us to go pick up dad at 2,3,4 etc in the morning. We would climb in the back of the car with our pillows and blankets like no big deal. Back then you didn't think of the danger we could have been in. Lady in the car with kids in the middle of the night? Not so safe now. I wonder if this was the case with this family, possibly on their way to or from a job pickup and the shooter was a friend or co worker. All we know right now is he was pissed off at something enough to kill the man in front of his family. Could you be anymore bruital! I hope they get a hold of his quickly!

HUH?

I believe most criminals that leave this country go to Mexico, no matter what race/creed/nationality they are.

Why are people so sensitive to automatically assume everyone is racist. You know who these sensitive people are...the BIGGEST RACISTS EVER!

First of all my PRAYERS go out the wife and child. This is a tragedy that he will never forget. Lots of counseling will be necessary for that poor kid. My GOD bless all people were involved, including the murderer since he obivously needs HELP to commit such a horrific crime.

WELL I SAY THAT THE GUY WAS IN THE CAR WITH HIM AND THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY HE RAN ON FOOT AND THERE WAS NOT A CAR LEFT BEHIND. HE PROBABLY GOT ON THE TRAIN AND IS LONG GONE NOW. THE WIFE IS TOTALLY GOING TO END UP BEING BEHIND THIS WATCH. I THINK IT IS SO SAD FOR THIS 5YR OLD BOY TO HAVE TO LIVE THE REST OF HIS LIFE PLAYING THAT MEMORY BACK IN HIS HEAD UNLESS HE WAS SLEEPING. STILL HE DOESNT HAVE A FATHER ARROUND ANYMORE AND NOONE DESERVES THAT.

A car key copied during a test drive helped three Ventura County men allegedly steal a Chevy Camaro, but the suspects didn't get far thanks to an observant neighbor, authorities said.

Arrested Monday on suspicion of grand theft auto were Isaac Valenzuela, 26 of, Ojai; Albino Ramirez-Bernal, 25, and Ruben Leal, 21, both of Ventura.

According to Ojai police, one of the men had test-driven the vehicle after responding to a private-party advertisement listing it for sale. He returned a week later in another car with two other men. The second car was seen driving around the West Villanova Road neighborhood until it stopped and two of the men got out. They were then seen getting into the Camaro by a resident who knows the car's owner. The resident called the Sheriff's Department.

A sheriff's deputy spotted the car near Casitas Vista Road and Highway 33. The Camaro and the second car were stopped and the drivers and occupant arrested. The three men, who also were arrested on suspicion of drug-related charges, were booked into the Ventura County Jail and have since been released.

The vehicle was returned to its owner undamaged.

MS_Cali - You reminded me of when I was little I can't believe I had forgotten that. My parents used to work in the fields and they would leave very early in the morning to go to work. My brother and I would be carried to the car, in our pj's, pillow and blankets. They would drop us off at the baby sitter. Our poor parents :O(
I do remember my dad used to smoke and he drove with the window down, so I guess there could be many reasons why this poor guy had his window down.
But it also sounds like the wife knew who the killer was, they named him pretty quickly.

The Ventura County Sheriff's Department says the killing of a man in front of his wife and son early Wednesday morning was drug related. It happened on a lonely stretch of Lewis Road south of Pleasant Valley Road near Camarillo around 4 AM. Captain Ross Bonfiglio tells KVTA News that the alleged killer, 38-year-old Victor Chavira, was sitting in the front passenger seat of 26-year-old Albino Ramirez' SUV which was parked along the northbound side of the road. Ramirez, from Casitas Springs, was sitting in the driver's seat, his wife and 5-year-old son were in the back seat. Bonfiglio says that Chavira allegedly fired several shots at Ramirez, killing him. The woman and boy were not hurt. Chavira then got out of the vehicle and ran off. Ramirez wife then called 911 and reported the shooting. Bonfiglio says that search dogs gave them a direction of Chavira's travel, which was towards Poncho Road. But he says that other "investigative techniques" led them to a condo on Calle Turquesa in the Newbury Park section of Thousand Oaks where they set up a surveillance. Around noon, they spotted Chavira and took him into custody without further incident

I'm not sure if any of you know what the National Night Out is but I find it funny that Oxnard chose not to particiapte this year. With all of its crime you would think they would jump on this free event where police, fire, SWAT and such come into the community for a meet and greet with neighborhoods, discuss what they do, what they are about and so forth. Strange... I guess the crime in Oxnard is no big deal anymore and no one cares enought to try anything to stop it. The event is mainly for the youth. This makes a greap opportunity for the community to start young with good influences and positve people in their own neighborhoods, to see them in a positive light on their own blocks.

Getreal, in a sense I agree with you re: the national night out program. However to say it's "free" is a bit naive. Having all those forces out speaking with civilians isn't free. All those salaries are being paid - they aren't volunteering on their days off. I personally feel it's money well spent, but it does cost money. In addition, I seem to recall hearing the the powers that be in the City of Oxnard felt that they couldn't sacrifice the people power for the event. They need all the forces they have out doing their jobs. They felt that having them attend the event could potentially create an issue if a police presence were required, etc. I see both sides of this issue. Community outreach however is an excellent idea and a community like Oxnard could benefit more than many. It does seem like the OPD does care in reaching the community and that's evidenced by David Keith - an OPD spokesperson - coming on here and giving us the scoop from time to time. I'm sure there's more to be done though.

The area in Newbury Park at Ventu Park and Hillcrest Drive, is an area that is crime ridden. It is a Latino and illegal alien enclave area. There has been drugs, drive-bys knifings, shootings and other crimes in this area of four-plexes. The area was a great place to live in the 1980s.

Those are the facts.

Wow Junior, you predicted something that most people assumed. Before he was caught, I also knew that this was either a fallout between two people involved with drugs or trafficing.

My Dad used to work in the fields, south of this location on Cawelti Road (we used to live in that white trailer that is still there, that is surrounded by a chain-link fence). When I translated this story to him, right away he said that it was a possible deal gone bad or that the suspect wanted to shoot him away from a neighborhood/ city.

The thing that my Dad told me is that a few people who work in agriculture might traffic drugs in and out of the country or want to be wannabe Mexican Mafia. I don't know if Chavira fits that mold.

To enlighten a few of you, agricultural workers report to work around 6 to 6:15 AM (4:10 AM is way too early). There are times when growers have agricultural workers spend a night in the fields to make sure certain fields are irrigated if they are behind schedule. My Dad would go out sometimes around 12, 1, or 2 AM to shut off water mains. Sometimes, my Mom would go with him and my Dad would take a few dogs with him.

One acquaintance my Dad knew spent a night irrigating crops for a grower about 15-17 years ago. He was sleeping in his car & awakened by another car with people who wanted to rob him. Ironically, this happened southwest of Lewis and PV roads around 2-3AM. After a confrontation & being beaten, he was able to escape into corn fields & under the cover of darkness, making his way to a house on the corner of Lewis & Cawelti. Sheriff deputies came out & ended up catching two males & a female who were still there, probably to finish the guy off.

I apologize if I typed too much. I guess if I want to be liked, I need to act obnoxious & wannabe thuglicious like Junior (Oh sorry, I was thinking out loud).

Comments: The police, fire dept, horses motorcycles etc come intor your neighborhood for 1/2 hour. THey rotate for the evening each department staying for only 1/2 hour. The "cost" of this versus the outcome is huge. If Oxnard cannot afford to let their departments come into neighborhoods for 1/2 hour then they have bigger problems than we know.

Comments: really

"In addition, I seem to recall hearing the the powers that be in the City of Oxnard felt that they couldn't sacrifice the people power for the event. They need all the forces they have out doing their jobs".
Where did you get that information? It's sad if it's true.
