Camarillo man arrested on suspicion of murder and other charges in a series of attacks that left two people dead and two others injured in Ventura County.
A 42-year-old man was arrested in connection with a violent rampage in Ventura County on Thursday that left two people dead and two others injured, authorities said. Alvin Otis Johnson of Camarillo was arrested on suspicion of murder and other charges after he attacked several people with a knife and pistol, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Department. The suspect apparently knew his victims. The first attack occurred shortly after 1 p.m.
While deputies were en route, a 47-year-old man arrived at the Camarillo police station and said he had been pistol whipped by a man at the same location, Worthy said. At the home, deputies found a man, later identified as Johnson, armed with a handgun, whom they took into custody. Video footage from OnSceneTV shows a group of deputies speaking to the handcuffed suspect as he sits on the sidewalk. Inside the home, deputies found a 75-year-old woman with significant injuries, Worthy said.
