Police have located and arrested a suspect in a hit and run accident that killed a mother of three in Oxnard over the weekend.

19-year-old, Bernardino Gijada is being held on suspicion of homicide and felony hit and run and burglary after police tracked him down in San Diego where he had been living with relatives.

The accident happened around 11 p.m. Saturday night between Oxnard Boulevard and 6th Street.

According to authorities, Gijada blew through a red light killing 41-year-old Theresa Virgin of Port Hueneme in the collision and critically injuring numerous other passengers in the vehicle.

A Korean immigrant who’s wife, two children and mother-in-law were all killed when a Marine Corps jet slammed into the family’s house said Tuesday he did not blame the pilot, who was able to eject from the jet.

Dong Yun Yoon faced reporters Tuesday, just one day day after a jet crashed into his home and killed four of his family members.

“Please pray for him not to suffer from this accident,” a distraught Dong Yun Yoon told the media who gathered near the location of Monday’s crash of an F/A-18D jet in San Diego’s University City community.

“He is one of our treasures for the country,” Yoon said in accented English, broken by long pauses while he struggled to maintain his composure.

“I don’t blame him. I don’t have any hard feelings. I know he did everything he could,” exclaimed Yoon, surrounded by members of San Diego’s Korean community, family members and patrons from the family’s church.

Authorities said four people lost their lives after the jet crashed into the Yoon’s house when the pilot was attempting to land at nearby Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Another vacant home was also destroyed.

Police are still looking for any cash dumped on the street after three masked gunmen robbed Pacific Western Bank in Rancho Bernardo.

Employees of the bank reported the holdup at 4:54 p.m. Witnesses gave differing descriptions of the assailants, San Diego police Sgt. Dave Jennings said.

Officers located a gun and cash in the street close by. It became clear that a dye pack hidden in the stolen cash had exploded. Some children told an officer they had found bills and some checks, and a U.S. Postal Service worker called police to report taking some of the cash to the nearby post office to be picked by officers.

The son of an Arab monarch took the King of Pop to court Monday, charging that Michael Jackson took $7 million as an advance on an album and an autobiography that he never produced.

Lawyers for Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa say their client fronted money for Jackson’s expenses as an advance payment for a book and joint recording project with the sheikh, who is an amateur musician. Jackson maintains that the money was a gift from a friend.

Attorneys for Al Khalifa said the royal prince spoke to Jackson, 50, by phone when the singer was standing trial in California as a result of his 2003 arrest on child molestation charges. Attorney Bankim Thanki said that Al Khalifa wanted to collaborate with Jackson and help to rebuild his career. Jackson’s finances were diminished after his arrest and he was desperately in need of cash.

The sheikh allegedly paid $35,000 for the utility bills for Jackson’s ranch home and amusement park, Neverland. Following Jackson’s acquittal, Al Khalifa paid an additional $2.2 million for Jackson’s legal bills.

In addition, Jackson and associates lived in Al Khalifa’s palace in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and gave him hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts, expenses, and vacations. During the time the two became close, however their relationship was strained after Jackson reportedly failed to deliver on a business arrangement.

Voters have decided to ban alcohol consumption on the city’s stretches of beaches, making the temporary ban that was imposed after a massive beach brawl last year permanent.

Proposition D received 53 percent of votes with all precincts reporting Wednesday morning.

San Diego has had a back-and-forth debate about removing booze on its beaches for decades but efforts to prohibit alcohol consumption remained stagnant until now.

In a 2002 attempt, voters rejected a trial ban on some beaches that tend to attract large crowds. The City Council had approved the measure but a referendum forced it to the ballot.

A similar effort to ban alcohol on the beaches was rejected in 1991.

After a Labor Day incident the City Council passed a temporary booze ban last November after a drunken brawl in the city’s Pacific Beach neighborhood. 70 police officers, including some in riot gear, were needed to break up the melee.

The temporary ban was scheduled to run out on Jan. 14, 2009.

Advocates said they wanted to make beaches safer for families and tourists.

Opponents refuted the ban as an overreaction because most incidents are limited to big holiday weekends and to select beaches. They argued that the ban would hurt businesses in beach communities, which are magnet for tourists.

The ban applies to all city beaches and Mission Bay Park.

After plea agreements and sentencings were settled for co-defendants in the “Bird Rock Bandit” murder case, the trial for Seth Cravens began yesterday with a graphic depiction of the scuffle that killed a La Jolla professional surfer.

Jennifer Grosso, the girlfriend of surfer Emery Kauanui Jr., wept in court during her testimony yesterday. Kauanui died in May 2007 after an altercation outside his mother’s La Jolla condominium. “I heard his skull crack when it hit the pavement,” Grosso remembered. Defendant Seth Cravens and defense attorney Mary Ellen Attridge listened to court proceedings yesterday. Cravens, 22, is charged with murder as well as other felony counts.

Wiping away tears, the girlfriend of Kauanui described the horror of watching him fall after Cravens punched him once in the face.

“I heard his skull crack when it hit the pavement,” Jenny Grosso testified in San Diego Superior Court. “It sounded like something just pinged off the sidewalk, and then immediately there was a pool of blood coming from the back of his head. I thought he was dead right there.”

Kauanui, 24, lived for four more days in a hospital after a fight outside his mother’s La Jolla condominium at about 1:30 a.m. on May 24, 2007.

Cravens was arrested in connection with what Deputy District Attorney Sophia Roach said were a series of violent actions over many years in La Jolla.

The Kauanui case drew international attention after prosecutors said Cravens and four other La Jolla High School graduates involved in the fight were members of the gang, the Bird Rock Bandits. Prosecutors said the group was at the center of many alcohol-driven fights in the area. Previous court hearings were packed. But Cravens’ trial began yesterday with only a handful of spectators, including his parents.

Because of the attention, “This case became not a prosecution but a runaway train,” Cravens’ attorney, Mary Ellen Attridge, said yesterday.

Cravens’ four co-defendants accepted guilty plea deals in June to lesser charges. Two of the four – Henri “Hank” Hendricks and Matthew Yanke – will be called to testify in Cravens’ defense, Attridge said outside the courtroom.

Grosso recounted that Kauanui had been losing a fight with one of Cravens’ friends when Cravens “just walked up to Emery and gave him one extremely hard punch.” The punch knocked Kauanui to the ground “like the lights went out,” Grosso said.

Attridge told the jury that Cravens punched Kauanui in self-defense.

“What happened to Emery Kauanui was a tragedy . . . but it was not a murder,” Attridge said. She said Cravens struck Kauanui when Kauanui got “5 inches away from Seth Cravens’ face” in a threatening posture.

Yanke, 22, Eric House, 21, and Orlando Osuna, 23, all pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter as a result of the fight that led to Kauanui’s death. Yanke and House were sentenced to 210 days in jail. Osuna was sentenced to 349 days. Hendricks, 22, pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact and was sentenced to 90 days in jail.

A man who was fatally injured during a motorcycle accident in Tecate Sunday afternoon has been identified by authorities as Vanty Khao, 27, a Cambodian resident of San Diego.

Khao was fatally injured during after a crash on state Route 94, west of state Route 188, according to the county medical examiner. He was treated on the scene by emergency crews and then taken by ambulance to a nearby cafe to wait for a helicopter. He was then pronounced dead at the scene.

Khao had been driving west on Route 94 on his 2003 Honda motorcycle, with a group of other motorcyclists, when he lost control of the bike for unknown reasons and collided with a guard rail. The force of the crash threw Khao onto the road and he was hit by another motorcycle. Medical crews attempted to revive Khao, but he was pronounced dead on the scene.

The state’s highest court rejected a lawsuit filed by San Diego and two other counties challenging California’s medical marijuana law on Thursday, but will be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, according to a county counsel.

San Diego, Merced and San Bernardino counties sued the state in February 2006. The suit claimed federal laws forbidding marijuana use and possession supercedes a state measure approved by voters in 1996 that allows dispensaries to sell the drug to people who can provide a doctor’s prescription.

The counties’ first attempt was rejected in 2006 by the San Diego Superior Court and then again by the District Court of Appeals in July. Now the California Supreme Court chose not to review the decision.

According to Senior Deputy County Counsel Thomas Bunton, San Diego County will appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court in the next 90 days.

According to his lawyers and officials, former baseball star Jose Canseco was detained by immigration officials at a San Diego border crossing as he tried to bring a fertility drug from Mexico.

Instead of being arrested, Canseco was issued a notice to appear in federal court “relative to a smuggling violation,” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Lauren Mack explained.

“It’s a discretion we have, to issue a notice to appear rather than make an arrest when a smaller volume of items are being smuggled,” Mack said.

Mack said no charges have been filed against Canseco, who was given the notice to appear and released Thursday night. She declined to elaborate further on the allegation.

His LA attorney told the press that Canseco, a former major league All-Star, was held for nearly 10 hours at the San Ysidro border crossing. It has been reported that immigration agents said they searched Canseco’s car and found human chorionic gonadotropin, which is illegal to possess without a prescription.

Emerson declined to say if Canseco was in fact in possession of the drug, which is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency for use in men. The drug helps restore testosterone production that is lost in steroid users.

Emerson went on to say that officials released Canseco after he agreed to allow ICE agents to search his Los Angeles-area home. ICE agents searched the home in the attorney’s presence yesterday as Canseco was returning from San Diego.

“They found nothing. They took nothing,” Emerson said.
