You or Someone You Love Was Shot at a Hollywood Hills Super Bowl Party. Here Is What the Law Actually Does for You. It is 1 a.m. Your phone rings. The person on the other end is at Cedars-Sinai, or UCLA Medical Center, or LAC+USC. Two men in their twenties — strangers to you, or your son, or your brother — went to a Super Bowl party at a rented house in the 1600 block of North Crescent Heights Boulevard in the Hollywood Hills. Somewhere around midnight, gunfire erupted. Two victims are hospitalized in stable condition. Two loaded guns were recovered from the back of the home. Two possible suspects are being detained. You are not a “victim” in the colloquial sense — you are a person whose body has been penetrated by a bullet, or you are the person who got the call. You are sitting in a waiting room, or you are sitting in your own kitchen staring at your phone, and the questions are stacking up faster than anyone can answer them. This page is built for you — the injured party and the family — by Attorney911 (The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC). We take cases like…

The Phone Call That Wakes You to a Different World It came just past 2:30 on a Wednesday morning. The number was unfamiliar, or worse, it was the sheriff. Your brother — a man in his forties, not yet past the years when he had the most to give and the most to lose — had been at a party in a rented house on San Ysidro Drive in Beverly Crest. Twenty-five or thirty people had gathered. An argument broke out. A man already inside the party produced a gun and opened fire. Two men were hit. The other — a man also in his thirties or forties — survived, hospitalized. Your brother did not. The Los Angeles Police Department would later tell reporters that the shooter “was at the party and starting arguing with the now-deceased man. He then pulled out a gun and opened fire, hitting two men.” You are reading this because someone in your family has been pulled into a place nobody prepares for. The funeral home is being called. The sheriff’s department has questions. The criminal case is moving somewhere you cannot see. And somewhere on a hillside in the Santa Monica Mountains, a piece…

Orinda Care Center COVID-19 Outbreak: What Families Need to Know About Their Rights Under California Elder Abuse Law The phone call comes at an hour no one wants to answer. Your mother — or your father, your aunt, the grandmother who taught you to bake bread — lived at Orinda Care Center. You placed her there because you believed trained professionals would care for her. You paid for that care every month. Then came the call: she has tested positive for COVID-19. Or worse — she is gone. You are not imagining what happened next. The records tell a story that predates the pandemic by years, a story of chronic understaffing, repeated state citations, a housekeeper with two prior sexual-abuse complaints who was allowed to prey on a resident with dementia, and an owner whose own nursing-home administrator license had been revoked for using fraudulent documents. The outbreak in April 2020 did not appear from nowhere. It was the predictable consequence of choices the facility had made over the course of years. This page is written for the person on the other end of that phone call. It explains what the law in California says you can do about it,…

Orinda Airbnb Halloween Mass Shooting: A California Wrongful Death and Premises Liability Guide for the Families the Sheriff Called “Victims” It is the call every family in the East Bay dreads, and it almost never comes on a Tuesday. It came on a Thursday. October 31, 2019. Halloween night. You were at home. Your daughter was at a costume party at a house in Orinda, a quiet suburb on the other side of the hill from Oakland where the streets wind through oaks and the houses sit back from the road behind hedges. She was supposed to be home by midnight. Then the phone rang, and the voice on the other end was a Contra Costa County sheriff’s deputy, and the world you understood on Wednesday stopped being a place you lived in and started being a thing you were surviving. By the time the last ambulance left Lucile Way in the early hours of November 1, five people had been killed inside the rented home — five young adults, each someone’s child — and at least five more had been carried out with gunshot wounds. Contra Costa County Sheriff David Livingston stood in front of the cameras the next…

A Mass Shooting at a Mansion Party — and the Legal Questions That Followed If your family member was one of the five people killed at a Halloween mansion party held at an Airbnb-rented home in Orinda, Contra Costa County, California, the months and years after the shooting have been a blur of grief, criminal proceedings, news coverage, and a creeping realization that the company whose logo was on the rental app, the host whose name was on the lease, and the promoter who organized the gathering all had a role in what happened on that night — and may owe your family accountability under California law. You are not imagining it. The civil justice system in California is built for exactly this kind of case. A wrongful-death claim under California Code of Civil Procedure § 377.60 allows specific heirs to recover the financial and human losses a death causes. A premises-liability claim under California’s foreseeability standard (the Rowland v. Christian framework) can hold a property owner responsible when foreseeable criminal conduct on the premises causes harm. A negligent-security claim reaches the host who turned a single-family home into a “mansion party” venue and failed to provide the security the…

You Are Reading This at 2 a.m. Because a House on Navarro Drive Was Not a Home That Night Some nights the phone rings and the voice on the other end is a parent who has just lost a child. Not to an illness. Not to an accident behind the wheel. To a bullet, fired at the back of a house while a police car sat at the front. The house was an Airbnb. The party was on social media. The crowd was 150 to 200 people, most of them under 21, paying a cover charge to drink in a residential living room in a quiet Sunnyvale neighborhood. And the homeowner was not there — because the city’s own rule, written six years before, said the homeowner had to be. That rule is Sunnyvale Municipal Code Chapter 19.76. It was not a suggestion. It was the law. And the family now buried because of that night has a wrongful death case that runs along two parallel tracks: one against the homeowner who broke the city rule and converted his house into a commercial party venue, and one against the platform that listed an “entire home” in a jurisdiction that flatly…

Beverly Crest Mansion Party Shooting: Holding the Homeowner, the Host, and the Security Firm Accountable Under California Law It is just after midnight when your phone rings, and the voice on the other end tells you to come to a hospital, or to the intersection of a road you have never been to, or to a house you did not know your loved one was at. The hours that follow are a fog of waiting rooms, phone calls, and a single question that does not form into words for a long time. We have sat across from families at that exact hour, and we want you to know two things before you read another line. First, in California, the law gives the family of a person killed in a shooting at a rented mansion real and substantial rights against every layer of the people who profited from that night. Second, the next 72 hours matter more than the next 72 months, because the evidence that proves a negligent security case erases itself on schedules you would not believe unless someone told you. That is what this page is for. This article treats one event, in plain California law, at the…

The Night the Landscaping Crew Didn’t Come Home You are reading this in the dark, or you are reading it in daylight with that same darkness behind your eyes. Maybe you are Martina, the daughter who remembers the last conversation: “I’ll call you later, or I’ll call you tomorrow because I’m working, but I love you.” Maybe you are the mother of four who just learned that the man who called every night after his shift was never going to call again. Maybe you are the other landscaper, the one who went home from the hospital this time, carrying a wound in your body and a question in your chest that no one answered: why did he shoot us? Maybe you are the brother, the sister, the cousin, the friend who keeps replaying the last text, the last wave, the last ordinary goodbye that wasn’t ordinary at all. If that is you, we are sorry for what brought you to this page. We know no page can do anything about the hole that is now in your family. What this page can do is tell you, in plain English, what California law actually says about who answers for what happened…

When the Room You Were Promised Was Safe Turns Out to Be the Crime Scene A homeless woman in her thirties, desperate for a hot shower, was offered one by a man she and her mother had met a few times. He was a 36-year-old registered sex offender with a 2009 felony conviction for sexual penetration by a foreign object. The offer was a lie. The motel room in Thousand Oaks became the setting for a forcible rape and an extended sexual assault that ended only when the victim fought her way out the door. The man was convicted in February 2025 in Ventura County Superior Court of forcible rape, false imprisonment, forcible oral copulation, sexual battery, and two counts of sexual penetration by force or fear, and the court found true the special allegations that his victim was vulnerable. In a separate Ventura County incident nine months later, a 21-year-old Oxnard man allegedly kept a 21-year-old Oxnard woman trapped inside his vehicle near the intersection of East Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Rancho Road, with witnesses reporting the victim was screaming to be let out; the vehicle hit a concrete bollard at a gas station meant to protect the fuel…

If You Were Sexually Assaulted at a Monterey Hotel, the Law Has Changed — and the Door Is Open If you are reading this, someone you love — or you — went to a Monterey hotel as an adult in control of the evening, and woke up missing pieces of it. Or you were drugged. Or you were too drunk to consent and someone decided that did not matter. Or you remembered telling him no and he did it anyway. Or you remembered nothing and were told, later, what happened to your body while you could not speak. We are sorry that is what brought you here. We have represented survivors of hotel sexual assault across California, and we know the shape of the harm — the flashbacks that arrive at 2 a.m., the shame that is not yours, the partner you have not yet told, the marriage that is bending, the job where you cannot concentrate, the bottle you told yourself you would not open again. We know the cost is not just medical. The cost is the life you had before, which is not coming back exactly as it was, and you have to grieve that while you…
