Cameron Stokes was a 16-year-old high school student from Valencia whose life ended in a midday shooting on March 18, 2023. At about 10:50 a.m., Cameron and 25-year-old Brian Chevez were near the pool at The Village Apartment Homes on Valle del Oro in Newhall when a man reached over the wrought-iron fence, fired multiple rounds, and fled toward the complex parking lot. Paramedics found both victims with multiple gunshot wounds to their upper torsos; both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies stopped a white car nearby and detained two young men as persons of interest. Anthony Martinez Ortiz, 18, was arrested and a juvenile was also detained; investigators said they believed the shooting was gang-related. Ortiz was charged with two counts of murder, pleaded not guilty at arraignment, and was held on $2 million bail. The juvenile was charged in juvenile court.
