OXNARD : Not Guilty Pleaded in Christmas Attack
- Share via
An Oxnard man pleaded innocent Friday to the Christmas Day stabbing of his ex-girlfriend’s son.
Ventura County Municipal Judge Bruce A. Clark continued bail at $250,000 for 32-year-old Jose Socorro Jimenez.
Clark also set a preliminary hearing for Feb. 9 to determine whether Jimenez will stand trial on the matter.
Witnesses said Jimenez stabbed 21-year-old Isaias Guerrero after showing up at the family’s Campbell Way home about 3 a.m.
Before the stabbing, the victim had tried to get Jimenez off the family’s property, witnesses said. Jimenez had smashed his hand against a living-room window, yelling that the victim’s mother, 36-year-old Graciela Guerrero, was “going to pay” for breaking off their three-year relationship.
An earlier arraignment scheduled for Jimenez had been postponed.
