On 10/30/2025, at about 9:13 AM, deputies from the Fillmore Station responded to the 200 block of E. Telegraph Road in Fillmore reference an assault with a deadly weapon which had just occurred.
Upon arrival, deputies located an adult female suffering from serious injuries consistent with being assaulted with a pick axe. The victim was transported via ambulance to a local hospital for medical care.
Sheriff’s Dispatch worked with reporting parties and were able to identify the suspect as (S) Juan Carlos Saucedo, a 19-year-old Fillmore resident. Saucedo was recently released from custody on his own recognizance for felony resisting a peace officer.
Patrol personnel quickly learned Saucedo had fled the area on foot. Additional resources from the Fillmore Detective Unit, West County Special Enforcement Unit, Sheriff’s Air Unit, and Sheriff’s K9 Unit responded to assist with the investigation and actively searched for Saucedo in the immediate and surrounding areas.
Shortly after 10:00 AM, with assistance from diligent members of the community, Sheriff’s personnel were able to locate Saucedo hiding in the area near Pole Creek and Fourth Street. Once resources arrived, deputies developed a plan and took Saucedo into custody without incident.
Shortly after 1:00 PM, detectives from the Fillmore Detective Unit obtained a search warrant for Saucedo’s residence, which was the same location as the assault. During the warrant service, crime scene investigators located additional evidence linking Saucedo to the attempted murder.
As a result of the investigation, Saucedo was arrested for Penal Code § 664/187 – [Attempt Murder]. He was transported to the Pre-Trial Detention Facility where he was booked pending court proceedings.

It seems time we have ‘common sense 10 day waiting periods’ for pick axes…
ZIPS – ah yes…. the old “anything that can kill people is exactly the same thing as a gun” fail. You folks love this one. Name one product on earth besides a gun that is researched, designed, produced and marketed for the sole purpose of killing. Name one.
Now, for semi-auto and auto-capable firearms, name one other thing that is researched, designed, produced and marketed for the sole purpose of killing other humans as quickly and as many as possible.
There is none. That’s why this tired “argument” is a failure.
