LOS ANGELES — A Ventura County man was arrested early Wednesday and accused of plowing a car into a group of teenagers near a high school, killing one, hours after stabbing a Walmart employee in Simi Valley, officials said.
The investigation, including evidence at the scene and witness statements, led authorities to conclude the Tuesday afternoon crash near Westlake High School was intentional, Ventura County Sheriff’s Capt. William Hutton said.
Austin Eis, 24, was booked at the Ventura County main jail around 5 a.m. on seven felony counts, including attempted robbery, resisting an executive officer, attempted murder, murder, burglary and two counts of exhibiting a firearm in a threatening manner, Hutton said.
