On May 2, 2019, Narcotics Detectives contacted Parra outside his residence located in the 3500 Block of Schooner Walk in Oxnard.  Detectives detained Parra and searched his residence pursuant to a signed search warrant.  During the search, detectives located and seized two handguns, a shotgun and three rifles.  Detectives seized over 600 rounds of ammunition, a small quantity of methamphetamine and paraphernalia used for the ingestion of illegal narcotics. None of the seized firearms were legally registered to Parra.  Detectives subsequently arrested Parra and booked him at the Pre-Trial Detention Facility on firearms and narcotics related offenses.  Parra posted bail and is currently out of custody pending criminal proceedings.
