A 31‑year‑old California man, Marshall Judson, has been charged with three counts of murder after he allegedly fled police during a domestic‑violence call and crashed into a car, killing a pregnant woman, her boyfriend, and their unborn baby.
What happened that night
- Police responded around 9:30 p.m. to a domestic‑violence incident in Pomona, where Judson was identified as the suspect; he later returned to the scene, intentionally struck a patrol car with his truck, and fled.
- During the pursuit southbound on Garey Avenue, Judson slammed into a Ford Fusion carrying 25‑year‑old Jennifer Loera‑Zarco and 26‑year‑old Marc Anthony Trejo Saldivar, who both died at the scene; their unborn son, due within weeks, also did not survive.
Charges and aftermath
- Judson was arrested at the scene and found with a gun and firearm components; he does not hold a valid driver’s license and is being held without bond at Los Angeles County Jail.
- The victims’ families held a vigil, stressing that three lives were lost, not two, noting Jennifer was about eight and a half months pregnant; friends and relatives have described the couple as loving, kind, and eagerly preparing to welcome their baby boy.
