OCEANSIDE, Calif. — A Día de los Muertos celebration in Oceanside is being overshadowed by an incident involving an event volunteer and a local street vendor caught on cell phone video.
The video shows a street vendor and his ice cream cart and a woman in a utility vest, who was later identified as a volunteer of the event. The video doesn’t show what led up to the exchange, but part of the confrontation is heard on the footage, including a woman saying,"This is public property but I paid for this event. I did, me.” The vendor responds multiple times by saying,"I’m leaving.
He said he didn’t have a permit to sell at the event and didn’t know the event required one, and told ABC 10News he was welcomed inside by attendees when he showed up. He says he tried to leave when the woman confronted him. We recognize that we made a mistake in our handling of the situation, and we take full responsibility for our actions. As a nonprofit organization run by a diverse group of volunteers we are committed to promoting our community's cultural diversity while ensuring public safety, we understand the importance of following proper procedures and regulations.
