On December 9, 2021 at approximately 8:43 p.m., officers from the Oxnard Special Enforcement Unit (Gang Unit) were conducting uniformed gang enforcement. Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle for a suspected traffic infraction at A St. and Magnolia Ave. The vehicle failed to yield and accelerated away from the police unit. The vehicle came to a stop on B St. and First St. The vehicle had four occupants in it; the occupants were uncooperative and initially ignored commands from the officers. The officers eventually gained the compliance of the occupants and officers removed them from the vehicle.
Officers identified Angel Perez as one of the passengers in the vehicle. A records check revealed that Perez is on probation, with search terms, for prior convictions of vandalism and obstructing a peace officer. Perez is also a documented criminal street gang member in the city of Oxnard. Â
Officers searched the vehicle pursuant to Perez’ terms and located a loaded 9-millimeter Glock-style Polymer 80 semi-automatic handgun in Perez’ vicinity. Polymer 80 semi-automatic handguns are sold commercially as incomplete, without serial numbers, and must be further manufactured to make them into functioning firearms. Officers also located loose 9-milimeter ammunition near the handgun. Officers also located methamphetamine near the handgun.  Perez was booked for felony firearm and narcotics related charges.
