A 31-year-old man is due in court Monday to face murder and other charges after authorities say he killed two people, including a pregnant woman, when he crashed into their car while being chased by police in Pomona.
According to the Pomona Police Department, officers responded at about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday to a domestic violence call in the 400 block of East 10th Street, about a quarter-mile east of Garey Avenue.
“When officers arrived and were speaking with the victim, the suspect returned to the location in a truck, driving recklessly and intentionally struck a parked patrol vehicle,” according to a police statement. “The suspect then fled the scene, initiating a police pursuit.”
Officers chased the suspect south on Garey Avenue, where his truck collided with a car near the intersection of Garey Avenue and County Road. Both people in the car, reported to be a silver Ford sedan, were pronounced dead at the scene by Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel.
Jennifer Loera-Zarco, 25, was pregnant, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. It was not immediately clear how far along she was in her pregnancy. The second victim was identified Saturday as 26-year-old Marc Trejo Saldivar, who was Loera-Zarco’s boyfriend, according to ABC7. Both died from blunt force trauma.
Marshall Campbell Judson was arrested at 11:18 p.m. Wednesday by Pomona police. Judson was charged Friday with murder and other counts and is set to be arraigned Monday in a Pomona courtroom, according to the DA’s Office.
Judson is facing two counts of murder, one count each of murder of a human fetus, assault upon a peace officer or firefighter and carrying a concealed, loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle and three counts of fleeing a pursuing peace officer’s motor vehicle causing death, according to the criminal complaint.
He remains behind bars in lieu of $4 million bail, jail records show.
