A night that began with a domestic violence call in Pomona ended in heartbreak for two families on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, when a reckless suspect behind the wheel of a truck plowed into a black sedan at high speed, killing both occupants instantly. Among the dead were 25-year-old Jennifer Alejandra Loera Zarco, who was pregnant and just days from her due date, and her boyfriend, Marc Anthony Trejo. Both were residents of Santa Ana.
What Happened
According to the Pomona Police Department, officers responded just after 9:30 p.m. to a domestic violence call in the 400 block of East 10th Street. While officers were on scene speaking with the victim, the suspect — later identified as 31-year-old Marshall Judson of Pomona — returned to the location in a black Dodge pickup truck and deliberately rammed a parked patrol vehicle before speeding away. Officers initiated a pursuit that ended at the intersection of South Garey Avenue and County Road, near the 60 Freeway, when Judson’s truck slammed into a silver Ford sedan at high speed. Video from the scene captured debris strewn across the roadway, including clothing and a baby car seat. A firearm and firearm components were later recovered from the suspect’s truck.
Emergency Response and Investigation
Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel responded to the scene and pronounced both victims deceased. Judson was taken into custody at the crash site without further incident. Pomona Police Department investigators worked through the night processing evidence. The intersection of Garey and County Road was closed for several hours. Authorities are continuing to seek additional witnesses and have asked anyone with information to contact the Pomona Police Department at 909-622-1241 or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
Injuries and Community Impact
Both occupants of the sedan — Jennifer Alejandra Loera Zarco, 25, and Marc Anthony Trejo — were pronounced dead at the scene. Jennifer was pregnant with the couple’s first child. The family of Marc Trejo confirmed the two had been excitedly preparing for the arrival of their baby. Marshall Judson, 31, was booked on charges including vehicular manslaughter, assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer, driving under the influence, driving without a valid license, felony evasion, and firearm-related charges.
Understanding Legal Rights After a Pursuit-Related Crash
When innocent people are killed as a direct result of a suspect fleeing law enforcement, California law provides pathways for families to seek accountability. Wrongful death claims may be pursued against the responsible driver, and depending on the circumstances, other liable parties may also be identified. The tragic loss of two lives — including an unborn child — raises serious legal questions about negligence and the rights of surviving family members. Consulting an experienced personal injury attorney as early as possible can help families understand their options, preserve critical evidence, and navigate the complex intersection of criminal and civil law that cases like this involve.
