Drowning California City California in California City, California: A 12-year-old boy, Fernando Torres Moreno, drowned in the pond at California City's Central Park on June 18 after running from three unleashed, aggressive dogs. The dogs' reported owner, Kenneth Dobbins of Palmdale, allegedly called the dogs to follow him and walked away without assisting the drowning boy or an 8-year-old girl who was bitten by the dogs moments later. Dobbins is facing a second-degree murder charge; a California City police officer had previously encountered Dobbins and his dogs two days before the drowning and had warned him about keeping the dogs off leash.
