Second Arrest Made For 2014 Murder On South Coast

There’s been a second arrest for a murder which occurred more than two year ago on the South Coast.

On February 17, 2014 a volley of shots was fired at two men on the 2000 block of Mariposa Street in Oxnard. Joshua Van was fatally wounded, and died at the scene, while a second man who was shot recovered. In August of 2015, Oxnard Police detectives arrested Alejandro Morales of Oxnard for the attack.

This week, they made a second arrest. Jesus Samuel Duarte was also arrested for the attack, and the murder. Detectives aren’t talking about what they think prompted the attack.
