Father and son car-buying scam targets elderly man in Northern California
( — An elderly man who attempted to sell his car in Northern California was recently targeted in a scam involving a father and son, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office. On Thursday, a Sacramento County resident attempted to sell his vehicle through a private sale. The seller, age 65, was contacted by Gabriel-Stefan Bebe, 41, and his 16-year-old son, who met the resident at his home to purchase it, according to SCSO. While the victim spoke to the 16-year-old, Bebe discreetly sprayed the vehicle's engine bay with oil. California car-buying scam hits Placer and Sacramento County Next, he claimed the vehicle had serious mechanical issues, in an attempt to fraudulently drive down the asking price of $10,000. SCSO said the victim reluctantly agreed to sell the car to the duo for $6,000. When the victim was handed the money, he noticed the 16-year-old remove some of the money using sleight of hand. After he counted the money, he only had $3,800, according to SCSO. Deputies said the victim became wary of their tactics and cancelled the transaction. As the victim attempted to take a photo with his cell phone, the 16-year-old reportedly pushed him while trying to leave. No injuries were reported, and the seller was able to keep his vehicle. The sheriff's office said it identified the two suspects within hours and arrested them. Bebe's son was transported to the Sacramento County Juvenile Hall, while Bebe was taken to the Sacramento County Main Jail. Since then, Bebe posted bond on $50,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on May 12. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Teen charged with murder in deadly stabbing attack outside Santa Ana High School
A teenager was charged with murder after a stabbing attack outside Santa Ana High School killed a 14-year-old boy and left two others hospitalized. The deadly incident happened on May 7 as a fight broke out among a group of teenagers in the school parking lot shortly before 3:30 p.m. Three male students, ages 14, 15, and 16, were stabbed during the violent altercation. The teen suspects, a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old, fled the scene. All three victims were transported to the hospital with stab wounds. The 14-year-old, identified by family as Armando Morales, died from his injuries at the hospital. The other two victims are expected to survive. On Friday, the Orange County District Attorney's office said Morales had been stabbed in the heart. The fight was among students who were believed to be members of rival gangs, police told the Orange County Register, though Morales' family said the 14-year-old was not a gang member and was instead trying to defend his friend during the confrontation. Police set up a perimeter and began searching for the two suspects who fled the area. The next day, escorted by their parents, the teen boys, who are brothers, turned themselves in at the Santa Ana Police Department. They were arrested for murder and attempted murder and were transported to Juvenile Hall. On Friday, the DA's Office announced the 15-year-old suspect was charged with murder and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. Charges against his 17-year-old brother are still pending. The knife that was used in the attack had not been located, police told the O.C. Register, while they noted the 17-year-old suspect did not use any weapons during the incident. Morales was a freshman at Santa Ana High School who was described by friends and loved ones as a kind and spirited kid. Dianna Vasquez said her daughter was friends with Morales. 'When she got home with her friends and they found out, she was in tears,' Vazquez said. 'She was crying. She couldn't believe it. She said he was a really nice kid.' A makeshift memorial honoring Morales was set up by friends and family outside the high school, where candles and mementos could be seen. He is survived by his parents and two siblings. The Santa Ana Unified School District released a statement saying, 'We are committed to providing a safe, caring, and supportive environment for all students and staff. We will continue to share updates as they become available. Thank you for your continued support and compassion.' All after-school activities were cancelled following the deadly incident and the district confirmed there was an increased police presence on campus, along with crisis counselors for those who needed support. The suspects' identities were not released due to their juvenile status. Detectives said they are investigating cellphone video captured by a witness that showed portions of the fight and are seeking any additional footage that may exist. Anyone who was a witness or has information on the case is urged to call SAPD Homicide Detectives at 714-245-8390. Anonymous tips can be provided to OC Crime Stoppers at 1-855-847-6227 or online at Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Teen motorcyclist tries to hide in small river during Ventura police pursuit
A 15-year-old motorcyclist tried to hide in a small river while being chased by Ventura police on Saturday evening. The Ventura Police Department said it was at 7:36 p.m. when a patrol officer saw the teen commit a traffic violation near the intersection of Johnson Drive and Telephone Road. The officer then tried to pull the boy over, but he fled on his electric motorcycle – a Talaria Sting. A vehicle pursuit began as the officer attempted to stay with the suspect. Then, in an effort to evade the officer, police said the teen went into the Brown Barranca – a narrow river gorge – located south of Telephone Road. More officers responded to the area and set up a perimeter, containing the suspect to the barranca. 'The pursuing officer is also a drone operator,' added the department in a release. 'The officer launched his drone and was able to locate the suspect within a couple of minutes.' Officials said that the perimeter officers were then guided toward the teen by use of the drone, eventually taking him into custody. 'Once in custody, officers realized the suspect was a juvenile,' stated the release. Due to his age, officials only identified the suspect as a 15-year-old male juvenile from Ventura. Police cited the 15-year-old for reckless evading (felony) and being an unlicensed driver (infraction). However, despite the charge being a felony, the department said that the teenager was not eligible to be booked into Juvenile Hall. Instead, officers released him to his parents and impounded his motorcycle. Anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to contact the Ventura Police Department at 805-650-8010.
