Ventura County authorities on Thursday charged Rotherie Durell Foster, 37, with murder for allegedly killing 35-year-old Jose Velasquez. Both men were plumbers.
"Jose was an incredibly hard worker who was starting his own plumbing business when his life was viciously and cruelly cut short," Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko said in a Thursday statement. "The charges filed today are among the most violent and serious we see in the courthouse, and are a result of the strong teamwork between the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office and our prosecutors."
