"A Ventura County man was sentenced to 110 years to life in prison for the deadly shooting of a man in an Oxnard alleyway.

Omar Romo, 37, of Oxnard, was convicted by a jury for the death of Oscar Rodriguez, 44, of Oxnard.

Romo was a known gang member who was on parole at the time for a robbery conviction, according to the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office.

On July 12, 2023, Oxnard police responded to a shooting on the 700 block of Cooper Road around 1:14 a.m. Romo had driven to the alleyway and shot Rodriguez three times before fleeing the scene.

Officers found Rodriguez suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, the Ventura County Star reported. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators said Romo was under GPS monitoring at the time and the GPS data had placed him at the scene of the shooting.

Surveillance footage showed Romo driving a black Honda Accord, which matched the one that was spotted at the time. He was also seen wearing similar clothing while in the area earlier that day, court documents said.

Police searched Romo’s residence and car, where they found ammunition and the firearm that was used in the murder.

On Aug. 21, 2026, Romo was convicted by a jury of murder, assault with a semiautomatic firearm and possession of a firearm by a felon.

Multiple special allegations and aggravating factors were also found true, including the personal and intentional discharge of a firearm, that Romo was on parole when the crime was committed and that he had prior strikes.

Investigators did not release details on the motive behind the killing." - KTLA 5 News

For the past 4 days or so I've been noticing a strong smell of natural gas or something when I drive past Proctor and Gamble on Rice. I have never smelled it before. Anyone else notice it? Does anyone know what it is?

A Filipino fried chicken chain will make its introduction in Ventura County with its grand opening on Oct. 28.

Jollibee plans to welcome customers in a shop attached to the existing Seafood City Supermarket at 2340 N. Rose Ave., according to Winsleth Dizon, general manager for the new location.

The restaurant specializes in fried chicken, pies and sandwiches paired with unique sides such as spaghetti.

Company VIPs and other invited guest will join a priest to bless the store the day before its grand opening, Dizon said.

Plans for the chicken chain opening in Oxnard have been in the works since the supermarket first opened at the former Babies R Us in 2023, but had been slow to materialize.

Jollibee joins an increasingly crowded field of chicken spots across Ventura County.

In January 2025, Dave's Hot Chicken opened in the Esplanade Shopping Center Oxnard, joining a sister location in Port Hueneme. Gordos Hot Chicken followed in February 2025 at the Collection in Oxnard. Angry Chickz, a Nashville hot chicken chain restaurant, opened in fall 2025 in Ventura.

Meanwhile, work on Raising Cane in Ventura continues near Target at Main and Donlon streets.

we are celebrating 10 years of marriage with a small vow renewal in January next year. We want to take everyone out for dinner, maybe a restaurant or any catering service can come to our venue. There will be 12 guests including us, we're hoping to keep the budget under $1k for food. Maybe somewhere casual or a local chef with good reviews. Does anyone know of restaurant or private chef that might work? tks!

I'm considering applying for the city of Oxnard assistant CFO position. However I see that it's been open since June, so I'm wondering if there are issues there, they're not getting applicants they want, or if it's just government pace, or something else. Any insight is appreciated!

I was wondering if anyone has cash only jobs that they need help for. My Daca is currently about to expire due to the severe backlog they have at the moment. I’m willing to send over my resume and also have a phone call conversation if interested.

if anyone is interested in this opportunity :)

Hi all,
Me and my roommate are moving from out of state and are trying to find something in the area or adjacent cities. Our budget is $2500 (2 bedroom) and our biggest issue is one of our credit scores is only 600. The 3x rental requirement we also do not meet. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Anyone have recommendations on which local beaches are better for seashell hunting?

what's the thing you tell a friend to get on their first visit. I invited my friend to my house party, they tried Hibachi, superb, steak with those browned edges, garlicky rice. Now I want to check new spot. If there's a taco or burger that beats it, convince me.

these mosquitoes are killing me
