‘The guy unleashed evil:’ Garden Grove police identify suspected killer, describe stabbing spree
Orange County Register ^ | August 8, 2019 | By Alma Fausto

The 33-year-old man who police say went on a stabbing spree that left four dead and two wounded was identified Thursday, August 8 as a documented gang member with an extensive criminal history prior to Wednesday’s deadly rampage that spread from Garden Grove to Santa Ana.

Investigators were still trying to determine what motivated Zachary Castaneda to attack the victims, who police say were random targets, Garden Grove police said.

Castaneda was made eligible for release under the AB109 inmate-realignment legislation, police said.

“This person should have been in prison and not allowed to be in our community,” Garden Grove Police Chief Tom DaRe said.

“California law enforcement agencies have been crippled by AB109, and offenders are not being held accountable for their crimes,” he said. “Our community becomes vulnerable when these criminals are released back into our society.”

Families of the victims should sue the State of California. The State has blood on its hands.

Fun fact: Castenada will be counted as white for purposes of crime statistics, but his hispanic victims will not.

Castaneda was made eligible for release under the AB109 inmate realignment legislation, police said.

Cars and trucks should get alignments or re-alignments. Felons just love those loopholes. Police say juveniles (not this guy) know the numbers of the laws such as "You know you can't hold me without a charge as an adult for more than 4 hours without me having a juvenile representative contact."
