The suspect in a fatal Old Town Camarillo shooting pleaded not guilty to murder May 18, according to Ventura County Superior Court records.
Daniel Lee Post, 55, of Oxnard, also denied all six special allegations, including that the crime involved great violence and that the murder was committed by means of lying in wait, court records show.
Post remains in custody at Ventura County Main Jail. He is not currently eligible for bail, but his bail review hearing is scheduled for May 27.
Around 9:45 p.m. on April 1, Ventura County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the 2100 block of E. Ventura Boulevard after receiving reports of an assault with a deadly weapon, according to the agency.
They discovered Daniel Brooks, a 32-year-old Camarillo man, with multiple gunshot wounds, according to the sheriff’s office. He was taken to Los Robles Regional Medical Center, where he later died.
