In the Californian city of Victorville, priest Samuel Pasillas was arrested on charges of organizing the attempted murder of his daughter’s boyfriend. Police found that the pastor paid the perpetrators of the crime about 40 thousand dollars for the attack that occurred on the evening of October 21, 2023, when unknown persons opened fire on the victim’s car.
People writes about this.
The investigation revealed that Pasillas arranged meetings with the hitmen, providing them with information about the victim and his movements. The perpetrators conducted surveillance of the victim for several weeks before the attack. On March 13, the pastor was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, conspiracy and attempted murder.
Police also detained one of the perpetrators, and both suspects were given a $1 million bail. As part of the investigation, searches were carried out, and law enforcement continues to work to identify all persons involved in the crime.
Pasillas is believed to have been motivated by his daughter’s romantic relationship with the victim, which he likely did not approve of.
