The judge ruled Wednesday that enough evidence existed against Troy Lamar Fox to have his case heard by a jury.
While interviews with an ex-girlfriend and a key piece of physical evidence were among the items a judge cited to send theto trial, something else stood out to her during a preliminary hearing that was not included in the evidence list Wednesday, Oct. 30.
Long Beach police Chief Wally Hebeish speaking at an April press conference asking for the public’s help in finding the suspect who shot 17-year-old Briana Soto on March 26 near Cambodia Town. Police, during a press conference asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect, said it didn’t appear the suspect took any of Soto’s belongings.Soto’s boyfriend, Ricardo Choza, testified that he was on the phone with her when suddenly he heard her scream followed by one “pop noise.” He stayed on the line and eventually someone else picked up the phone and said she was on the ground and bleeding. Choza then ran over and found her bloodied and non-responsive.
The ex-girlfriend, Tyrisha Hawkins, reluctantly testified with the promise of immunity Wednesday and at first denied identifying Fox for detectives, but under cross-examination by Frisco, said the man in the videos appeared to be Fox. Hawkins audibly sighed multiple times during questioning and, for the most part, did not look up when answering.
Hawkins was interviewed by detectives in March and September following weapons-related arrests, Contreras said.
