6 From O.C., 18 to 28 Years Old, Charged With Murdering Man In San Juan Capistrano

ORANGE COUNTY, CA – A half-dozen people were charged today with the fatal stabbing of a man near Trabuco Creek in San Juan Capistrano, where the victim was allegedly lured to his death.

The victim — 38-year-old Alvaro Rios of Perris — was romantically involved with one of the defendants, who was dating one of the other accused killers, according to Senior Deputy District Attorney Scott Simmons.

Rios' body was found near the dead end of Trabuco Creek Road about 10 a.m. July 13.

The defendants are Ashkan Dezhangfard, 22, of San Juan Capistrano; Ryan Huebner, 20, of Laguna Niguel; Siavish Hosseinaliarhani, 18, of Laguna Niguel; Myles Emmanuel Jones, 22, of Laguna Hills; Angelica Shiabata, 28, of San Juan Capistrano; and Brion Hyde, 22, of San Juan Capistrano.

They are charged with murder with a special circumstances allegation of lying in wait, making them all eligible, if convicted, for life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty if the prosecution opts to pursue capital punishment.

Dezhangfard, Hosseinaliarhani and Huebner are scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon with the others due to make their initial appearances tomorrow, Simmons said.

Shibata and Hyde were living together as a couple in San Juan Capistrano, according to the prosecutor, who said Shibata was also dating Rios at the time the married father was killed.

Shibata allegedly asked Rios to meet her in a remote area near a bike path in San Juan Capistrano early July 12, Simmons said.

All of the defendants were there when Rios was attacked and left for dead, the prosecutor said.

A jogger found the body the next day and called sheriff's deputies.
