Nearly a decade after what may have seemed like a Halloween nightmare, Ventura County authorities have charged a man they say attacked a woman while wearing a mask resembling the one from the “Scream” movie franchise in Simi Valley in 2017.
Richardo Jimenez-Garcia, 38, was one of several men who attacked a woman who was walking along Galena Avenue on Sept. 21, 2017, according to the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office Friday.
Jimenez-Garcia and the other suspects allegedly attacked the woman with a knife while concealing their identities behind the masks.

The victim called 911, but the case remained cold for nine years until last month when the District Attorney’s Office identified Jimenez-Garcia and arrested him on Sept. 9.
Authorities believe there may be other victims of Jimenez-Garcia and his co-conspirators.
Anyone who witnessed the attack or recognizes Jimenez-Garcia is urged to contact District Attorney Investigator Yumi Kirk at (805) 477-1638.
Charges have been filed against Jimenez-Garcia in connection with the attack, the District Attorney’s Office said.
