Here are the top five stories in Oceanside-Camp Pendleton today:
- A man who killed a female Navy corpsman at an Oceanside apartment complex nearly four years ago was sentenced Friday to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Eduardo Arriola, 29, was convicted by a Vista jury of first-degree murder, plus a special circumstance allegation of lying in wait, for the July 20, 2018, killing of 24-year-old Devon Rideout. Arriola was a former Marine who was discharged for desertion and later diagnosed with schizophrenia, leading to four hearings between the killing and his trial to determine whether he was mentally competent to stand trial. Three separate doctors found him competent, according to court documents. - (KUSI) - Work has begun on a new 26-home community on seven acres in Oceanside's Fire Mountain neighborhood. IHP Capital Partners and California West Communities announced the partnership to create 26 Tides, consisting of two-and three-story single-family detached homes. Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2023, with home sales anticipated to open in the second quarter. The community will also provide two affordable units to be rented to those with low incomes. (Times of San Diego)
