The Sheriff’s Gang Unit arrested three Saticoy gang members in connection with an unreported shooting that occurred on 10-15-2009. Anthony Beltran, Trevor Gentry, and 16-year-old Victor Hernandez were all arrested this past week for charges that include Attempted Murder and Street Terrorism.
On 10-15-2009, Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call of subjects shooting from a vehicle in the Community of Saticoy. When units arrived, they were unable to locate any witnesses, victims, or physical evidence to show that a shooting had actually occurred.
Over the next few days, Sheriff’s gang investigators canvassed the neighborhood looking for anyone who might have seen or heard the shooting. Investigators were able to establish a shooting had in fact been committed and located two uninjured victims.
Sheriff’s gang investigators were able to establish that around 6:45 P.M, the two victims went to 3 Amigo’s Market located at 1191 Alelia, Saticoy. While at the market, they were approached by several gang members who asked the victims where they were from. During the confrontation, the victims were beaten and repeatedly told they were in the territory of the Saticoy gang. As the victims fled, they were shot at several times.
During the investigation, gang investigators searched several homes and known gang hangouts. They seized two shotguns, a rifle, and a handgun. They also recovered a spent bullet believed to have been fired at the victims.
Trevor Gentry and Anthony Beltran were both arrested on Wednesday. Trevor Gentry, who was also on parole, was arrested on the additional charge of violation of his parole terms. Both were booked at the Pre-Trial Detention Facility, Ventura.
Victor Hernandez was arrested on Thursday and lodged into the Juvenile Justice Center, Oxnard.
On Friday, The District Attorney’s office filed adult criminal charges against 16-year-old Victor Hernandez and Anthony Beltran. Victor Hernandez’ charges include Attempted Murder, Shooting at an Occupied Vehicle, and Street Terrorism. He is being held without bail. Anthony Beltran’s charges include Assault with a Firearm, two counts of Battery, and Street Terrorism. He is being held on $205,000 bail.
The District Attorney’s Office declined to file charges against Trevor Gentry pending further investigation. He remains held without bail for violation of his parole terms.
The Sheriff’s Gang Unit expects to make more arrests in this investigation.
