Name Of Man Shot To Death In Ventura County Released

Authorities are now identifying a man whose murder over the weekend rocked a small Ventura County community.

Padraic Murphy was shot to death Saturday night in Meiners Oaks.

Ventura County Sheriff’s detectives arrested another resident of the small town southwest of Ojai, Richard Eric Arellanes, for the shooting death.

Investigators say Arellanes and the 35 year old victim had apparently been involved in some type of an argument before the shooting.
