17 Jul
Summary
- A 30-year-old man died in a hit-and-run crash near Camarillo.
- His parents are seeking community help and video evidence.
- The Medical Examiner ruled the death a suicide, but the family is skeptical.
The parents of Steven Michael Monzon, 30, of Camarillo, are pursuing justice and answers following his death on June 7th. He was killed in a hit-and-run incident near Gerry Road around 11 p.m. The California Highway Patrol received calls about a pedestrian in the road before the fatal collision.
Steven's parents have been canvassing their neighborhood, requesting video footage from residents to aid the investigation. They provided collected videos to the CHP, emphasizing the largely agricultural area's lack of sidewalks and streetlights. The Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office classified Steven's death as suicide due to multiple blunt-force injuries, a conclusion his family questions.
The family, deeply rooted in the Camarillo community, is relying on their local connections to encourage witnesses to come forward. Steven Michael Monzon, who had a history of singing in church and in bands, was recently working in security and aspired to be a private investigator.
Anyone with information regarding the crash is urged to contact the CHP's Ventura Communication Center at 805-477-4174.
