In Ventura County, a tragic incident occurred where a dispute between two roommates turned fatal. According to the Ventura Police Department, one roommate allegedly stabbed the other during an argument early Saturday morning. Responding to a call at around 12:10 a.m., officers arrived at an apartment located in the residential area of Preble Avenue, south of Main Street and across from the Pacific View mall. The victim, a man with a stab wound to his upper body, was swiftly transported to Ventura County Medical Center by ambulance. Tragically, he succumbed to his injuries and his identity has not yet been disclosed.

Meanwhile, authorities discovered a second man fleeing the scene. After conducting an investigation, the police’s major crimes unit determined that the two individuals involved were indeed roommates. The verbal altercation inside the apartment escalated when the suspect allegedly stabbed the victim. The authorities subsequently arrested the suspect, identified as 19-year-old Christopher Ray Hogan, on suspicion of murder. Hogan was subsequently booked into the county jail.

This incident marks the fourth homicide in Ventura this year. The police urge anyone with information related to the case to contact Detective Alberto Tovar at 805-339-4462.

In another unfortunate occurrence, an Oxnard man lost his life in a solo motorcycle crash on Highway 33 in Ventura late Friday night, as reported by the California Highway Patrol (CHP). The victim, identified as Todd Wilson, was riding his 2014 Harley-Davidson northbound on the 33 near West Main Street, north of the Highway 101 junction, at approximately 11:25 p.m. According to the CHP’s news release, Wilson veered off the road to the left, colliding with plants and a raised curb in the center median.
