Licensing Program Analyst Connie Jones-Steward met with Program Manager Leticia Woodruff to follow-up on an incident that occurred in one of the certified units on Dec. 6, 2024 (0001326-FN). The Department received a special incident report on Dec. 12, 2024. Per Ms. Woodruff, the office was unaware of the incident until Dec. 12, 2024. Per the narrative, P1 had two male visitors in her apartment and the visitors got into an argument. They took the argument outside and one of the visitors fired a total of five gunshots. It is unclear if the shooter meant to hit the other visitor or was just trying to scare him. P1 initially denied that the two males were her guests. However, her roommate identified the two males caught on camera as visitors to P1. Also neighbors reported seeing those two males exiting the apartment of P1. Once the two males were identified by witnesses as being seen entering and exiting her apartment P1 finally admitted that they were her visitors. P1 was terminated from the program on the basis that the participant rules state that participants are responsible for the actions of their guest and because those actions were endangering Aspiranet's lease. There was an incident report issued by Oxnard Police Department on Dec. 6, 2024 indicating that a person was arrested in connection with the shooting. LPA was provided with copies of the police report, the discharge and termination notices, the participant rules signed by P1. The documents will be placed in the office file. LPA found no violations nor deficiencies on the part of the licensee. No citations were issued. Exit interview was conducted and the program manager was provided with a copy of this report.
