California DMV warns of new vehicle registration support scam

Above: FOX 5 report on how to get a REAL ID in California. SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — The California Department of Motor Vehicles is urging drivers to be wary of a new online scam offering assistance to renew vehicle registration at a discounted rate. DMV officials say the latest scam uses social media posts to advertise help that could save people up to 50% on vehicle registration renewal fees. Those who respond are asked to give their license plate, Vehicle Identification Number and the customer's full name, as well as to make a payment through an online platform like CashApp. System error may have affected traffic court notices in California. Are you impacted? According to the department, requests for these details or payments will never be made through unofficial channels. They further encourage drivers to only conduct business with the DMV or with an authorized business through the Business Partner Automation Program. A list of businesses that participate in this program can be found on the DMV's website. An example of what the advertisement looks like can be found below. 'The safest way to renew your vehicle registration is directly through the official DMV website,' DMV Director Steve Gordon said in a release earlier this month. 'We do not offer discounts, and we never conduct official business through social media or other unofficial channels.' To avoid falling victim to this scam and others that have been circulating in recent months, the DMV encourages Californians to take these precautions: Steer clear of offers offering discounted DMV services — the department does not offer special deals through unauthorized third-parties or on social media. Do not respond to unsolicited or suspicious texts. Verify the source if you are unsure whether something you come across is official or if you have concerns. Officials encourage Californians do this by contacting the department's customer service team at 800-777-0133. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

EXCLUSIVE - The mother of a 14-year-old that was shot and killed spoke exclusively to FOX 5 as a jury deliberated the fate of her son's alleged killer. FOX 5's Tisha Lewis spoke exclusively to the mother of 14-year-old Michai Malave. What we know Jury deliberations started at 12 p.m. on Tuesday and the jury could still have a long way to go. In this type of case, jury deliberation can last anywhere between 24 to 36 hours. This all comes after 18-year-old Ismael Cruz Del Cid, on the left, underwent a jury trial after admitting to the fatal shooting that took place in March 2024. The shooting happened on the 1300 block of Coppermine Road in Herndon. Del Cid is accused of fatally shooting Malave and another teen who survived. Investigators say this was not a random shooting and that Del Cid and the victims knew each other. Attorneys for the defendant claimed it was self-defense but Malave was not armed.

Malave's mother tells FOX 5 she's doing her best to navigate the grief and the pain that comes with losing a child. "I'm not sure how we're navigating it other than with the grace of God and just family. I'm in other grief groups with mothers who have lost their children the same way and that helps me get through. I'm mostly still in the shock of disbelief sometimes. A part of my mind will believe that he's still at a friend's house and it will hit me that he's gone and it's just terrible," said Jenna Malave, Michai Malave's mother. What's next The jury will resume deliberations at 10 a.m. on Wednesday. Del Cid is charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and using a firearm in commission of a felony.

New age-progressed photo released in 1980 baby abduction in Oceanside

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Nearly 45 years after a newborn was abducted from the family of a Camp Pendleton Marine, authorities are hoping a new computer-generated image will finally lead to answers. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) on Tuesday released an age-progressed photo of what Kevin Verville Jr. may look like today. He was only 17 days old when he was taken from his family's Oceanside military housing complex on July 1, 1980. Cold case solved: High school teacher's killer identified as 16-year-old boy Investigators believe if Kevin is still alive, he likely has no idea he was abducted. 'The pain of the kidnapping of my son has changed our life — changed the way we think, the way we talk, the way we do everything,' his father, Kevin Verville Sr., said. According to investigators, a woman posing as a social worker approached the Verville family and convinced them she was part of a welfare assistance program called HELP. She claimed her name was Sheila and said she was helping new mothers. Angeline Hartmann with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said the woman persuaded Kevin's mother, Angelina, to get into her car under the pretense of picking up another mother who was also joining the program. Arrest made in San Diego cold case homicide nearly 50 years later 'They drive for about eight miles until the woman stops at a home,' Hartmann said. 'The woman asks the mom to get out of the car and knock on the door. Kevin Verville Jr.'s mother steps out of the car to knock on the door and the woman takes off.' Kevin Verville Jr. was never seen again. FBI officials believe the woman, who said she was pregnant at the time, may have been targeting newborns in the military community — particularly those of Filipino descent. They theorize she may have suffered a miscarriage and was looking to raise a child as her own. 'She was noticed having a small tattoo on the left hand, between her left thumb and forefinger — possibly a circle with a cross,' said Houtan Moshrefi, acting special agent in charge of the FBI's San Diego office. Cold case: Pacific Beach murder victim identified 42 years later The suspect was described as a small woman, about 5'2″. Kevin's sister, Angelica Ramsey, has never met her older brother but hopes DNA testing and public awareness may still lead to his discovery. 'She's had two strokes — she can't walk, she can't talk,' Ramsey said of their mother, Angelina. 'Seeing my parents suffer makes me sad. I think it would be devastating if either of them passed before we found him.' As Kevin's 45th birthday approaches on Saturday, investigators and family members are pleading with the public: If anyone recognizes the man in the new photo or knows information about the abduction, contact the FBI. The FBI is still offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the location of Kevin Verville, Jr., as well as the arrest and conviction of those responsible for his abduction. Anyone with information on Kevin Jr., his abduction or the unknown female suspect, is asked to call the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST or the FBI at 1-800-225-5324, or visit Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
