OXNARD : Authorities Identify Man Shot to Death
Authorities on Monday identified an Oxnard man shot to death during a domestic dispute on Sunday and the man’s cousin who was shot during the same family disturbance.
Jose Delgado, 26, of Oxnard died shortly after arriving at St. John’s Regional Medical Center on Sunday evening with a gunshot wound to the chest, said Deputy Coroner Jim Wingate.
His 34-year-old cousin, Angelina Delgado, was treated at St. John’s for a gunshot wound to the neck and was later released, a hospital spokeswoman said Monday.
Roberto G. Cervantes, who was identified by witnesses at the scene as the gunman, is being sought in connection with the homicide, said Sgt. Denny Phillips of the Oxnard Police Department.
Officers called to the scene of a family dispute in the 2800 block of South M Street about 8:40 p.m. Sunday found the two victims inside the house, Phillips said. Police are trying to piece together a motive for the shooting, Phillips said.
