Car Crash California City California in California City, California: Fernando Torres Moreno, 12, drowned in the pond at California City's Central Park on June 18 after running from three aggressive, unleashed dogs. The dogs' reported owner, Kenneth Dobbins of Palmdale, allegedly called the dogs to follow him and walked away without assisting the drowning boy. An 8-year-old girl sustained a serious but non-life-threatening dog bite moments later. Dobbins is facing a second-degree murder charge and refused to attend his arraignment. A California City police officer had reported a confrontation with Dobbins and his dogs two days before the drowning.
