| Narrative: | |||||
| On 01/06/2025, a stabbing occurred near the Fillmore Historical Museum located in the 300 block of Main Street in Fillmore. At about 9:00 PM, a Hispanic male with two other male subjects confronted an adult male victim on the sidewalk near the Fillmore Historical Museum. During the confrontation, one of the suspects stabbed the victim with a sharp metal object. The three suspects fled on foot while the victim was able to call the police. Fillmore Patrol personnel contacted the victim and initiated an investigation which led to identifying (S) Ivan Hernandez as the stabber. Hernandez is a documented criminal street gang member who is currently on active parole. Detectives with the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit and Fillmore Bureau of Investigation responded to the scene and located evidence consistent with a stabbing. Additional evidence linking Hernandez to the crime was also located at the scene. While the crime scene was being processed by investigators with the Sheriff’s Bureau of Identification, a manhunt took place for Hernandez. A few hours into the manhunt, Hernandez was located by Fillmore patrol personnel at a nearby residence and taken into custody without incident for the stabbing. A parole hold was also placed on Hernandez. Hernandez was booked for a felonious violation of Penal Code § 245(a)(1) – [Assault with a Deadly Weapon] and Penal Code § 3056 – [Parole Hold]. He is currently in custody at the Main Jail pending arraignment. Anyone with information about the assault is asked to call the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office at (805) 654-9511, 911, or Ventura County Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS (8477), callers can remain anonymous.
