A man has pleaded guilty to a string of violent crimes in Ventura County, including a murder and an attack on an 82-year-old man, which broke the victim’s jaw.
Prosecutors say Jacob Saldivar of Oxnard went on a three-month-long crime spree in 2019. One of the most violent crimes occurred in June of 2019, when Saldivar stabbed Charles Barber to death at an Oxnard apartment complex.
He robbed several teenagers, in some cases beating them as well. He also attacked and robbed two elderly men in separate incidents.
The 23-year-old man pleaded guilty to 11 felony counts. He’s expected to get a 33-year-to-life sentence when he appears in court on October 7.
