Man found dead at Moss Landing Harbor after boat crash leads to fight
The Monterey County Sheriff's Office said a man was found dead after a boat crash on Moss Landing Harbor led to a fight on Wednesday morning. He was identified by the Sheriff's Office as 26-year-old Trenten Paul Black of Aptos. Around 9 a.m., deputies and California State Parks officers were alerted to a boat crash at Moss Landing Harbor, the Sheriff's Office said. The Sheriff's Office said witnesses told them one of the boat operators boarded the other boat, and a physical confrontation happened. One of the people involved then fell into the water, and the other person allegedly continued to assault him with a stick, according to the Sheriff's Office. Witnesses notified deputies that one of the people was seen exiting the water with his boat. The Sheriff's Office said they detained that person for questioning. Meanwhile, the other person had not reappeared and could not be seen, witnesses told the Sheriff's Office. A dive team was sent to the scene, and along with the US Coast Guard and a SONAR device, they were able to locate a possible body in the water. Rescue crews recovered Black around 1:20 p.m., the Sheriff's Office said, and the Coroner's Office will determine his cause of death. No arrests were made as deputies continue to interview the witness and the involved person. The Sheriff's Office said they are still investigating, and they have not yet released information about who boarded whose boat.

Man facing murder charges after elderly Pinole woman dies following assault
PINOLE, Calif. - A Richmond man is facing murder and elder/dependent adult abuse charges after police said an elderly woman in Pinole was attacked and died from her injuries. Police said a suspect, later identified as 27-year-old Miguel Patino, assaulted 76-year-old Vera Rowsey and another victim while they were walking their dog near Bayfront Park in Pinole on May 28 with a blunt object. The attack occurred around 2 p.m., police said. After the attack, Rowsey was taken to a hospital, where she later died on June 4. Following her death, the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office charged Patino with murder, in addition to aggravated battery, assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm, and elder/dependent adult abuse charges he was already facing. Patino remains behind bars at the Martinez Detention Facility on $1.12 million bail. What we don't know The motive behind the assault and the circumstances leading up to it remain unclear at this time. It's also unclear if the victims and suspects knew each other and if the assault was targeted or not. Authorities did not share any details regarding the condition of the other victim. What they're saying "Vera Rowsey was a beloved member of our Pinole community—we extend our deepest condolences to her family, impacted by this senseless act of violence," said Pinole Mayor Cameron Sasai. "We thank our officers for their swift response and remain committed to supporting the path to justice and healing." The Source Pinole Police Department
