Maricopa Highway Stabbing Reported
Report and photographs by Scott Wintermute
At about 1:27 p.m. Wednesday, a young woman, covered in blood, was found walking along Maricopa Highway near Matilija Canyon Road by a Fed Ex delivery driver.
She appeared to have suffered multiple stab wounds, and was transported via helicopter to the Ventura County Medical Center.
Shortly thereafter, there were reports of two males walking down the riverbed and a Ventura County Sheriff’s Department helicopter was seen patrolling up and down the canyon.
As of this time there have been no arrests, though police do have a person of interest in the case.
The release of the identity and condition of the victim is being withheld pending further investigation, but the OVN has learned that she is an Ojai resident in her mid-20s.
