Oxnard Police Investigating 4 Stabbings
Oxnard police on Sunday were investigating a series of fights that left four Oxnard residents with stab wounds and two others with minor injuries.
A number of the men attended a party in the 2900 block of Sturgis Road, police said. Fights erupted over several hours after the party broke up about 3 a.m.
Suffering multiple stab wounds were Samuel Avila, 25; Omar Jasso, 23; Aaron Flores, 23; and Luis Lomelli, 21. None of the injuries were listed as life-threatening.
The other men injured were Jonathon Whiting, 22, and Joseph Chavez, 22. They told police they had been assaulted in the vicinity of San Jose and Kohala streets. It was not immediately clear whether those incidents were linked to the stabbings.
Officers interviewed victims at St. John’s Regional Medical Center in Oxnard and Community Memorial Hospital and Ventura County Medical Center in Ventura.
Police, who are seeking additional witnesses, said the incidents may be gang-related.
