VISTA, Calif. (KGTV) – On Wednesday, murder suspect Eduardo Arriola sat inside a Vista courtroom in his green jail uniform, as attorneys introduced him to jurors as a mentally ill ex-marine who gunned down his neighbor, Devon Rideout. It happened in 2018 outside of their Oceanside apartment complex while Rideout was walking her new puppy.Witness Jeremy Mitchell is a UPS driver who was making a delivery at the time of the shooting. He described hearing loud bangs and screams. He choked back tears as he described running to help Rideout. “I grabbed her hand. I told her, ‘It’s going to be okay. You’re going to be alright.’ After that, her breathing started to slow,” he told the courtroom.“She was caught by surprise, and she was ambushed,” prosecutor Keith Watanabe told jurors. He said that Arriola is charged with murder in the first degree because, he said, he intentionally shot Rideout multiple times.Watanabe added, “The defendant [told officers], ‘I shot her with my gun because she was a trespasser.’”He also said that her name was later found etched on the radiator of Arriola’s car.“Mr. Arriola is

El Cajon, CA (KGTV) – There’s a new effort to increase COVID-19 vaccinations in San Diego County’s eastern communities.Dalia Mohammed is an outreach worker with License to Freedom. She got vaccinated as soon as she was eligible and told as many people as possible.”To show the community, hey, I got the vaccine. I’m doing great. Now, it’s your turn to go get the vaccine and save lives,” said Mohammed. License to Freedom is a non-profit that helps domestic violence victims and members of the refugee population. The organization is working to encourage people who may be vaccine-hesitant to get the shot. “We come from a war-torn country. We come from a place where government is to not be trusted, so it’s very difficult for people to understand,” said Mohammed. Language barriers are another issue. Since the pandemic started, Mohammed has been translating information to the middle eastern communities in El Cajon. “When Covid-19 first started, it was very difficult for them to understand what COVID-19 is,” said Mohammed, adding, more than a year later, there are still a lot of questions. “People are afraid. They’re

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (KGTV) — As people around the world react to the Supreme Court’s decision on Friday to overturn Roe vs. Wade, there are growing questions about what telehealth options will exist for women in states that ban abortion.ABC 10News reporter Madison Weil spoke with a healthcare attorney about the future of abortion pills nationwide.“The discussion around abortion has changed in terms of technology in terms of medication,” said Harry Nelson, a California-based attorney and partner at Nelson Hardiman.Nelson specializes in giving legal advice to telehealth providers, many of which provide women’s health services. He says today, more than half of all abortions take place privately at home with pills often prescribed virtually – sometimes even mailed to patients.“Specifically, mifepristone and misoprostol which are the two medications that are used up to 10 weeks in pregnancy,” he explained.The question now is will this be an option for women in states where abortion is banned? “There will become…all of these questions about where people live and who is allowed to treat them,” said Nelson. “The general rule is a patient is supposed to be treated
