A 50-year-old man was charged with murder Tuesday in connection with a fatal shooting in Meiners Oaks over the weekend. He has not yet entered a plea.

Richard Arellanes, of Meiners Oaks, appeared in Ventura County Superior Court, where his arraignment hearing in the case was continued until Oct. 15.

Arellanes was charged with murder and a special allegation he personally and intentionally discharged a firearm in Friday's killing of his neighbor Padraic Murphy, 50, court records show.

Also in the news:

The shooting was reported at 5:10 p.m. in the 100 block of North Pueblo Avenue in the unincorporated community in the Ojai Valley, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office.

Murphy was given medical aid after being found lying in the road suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said.

Arellanes was arrested soon after authorities arrived and was later booked into Ventura County jail.
