WINTER ECOLOGY IN MENDOCINO COUNTY MURDER CASE IN COURT Detectives take stand at boy’s hearing By BEN BROWN The Daily Journal A witness to the crime told police he saw Marcos Escareno fire one round into a minivan driven by Enoch Cruz on the night Cruz was killed, Mendocino County Sheriff’s Detective Jason Caudillo testified Wednesday. Escareno, 15, is charged with murder in the shooting death of Cruz, 22, who was found dead in a minivan on Garcia Court in Manchester on Feb. 6, 2007. Escareno was 14 years old at the time of his arrest but is being tried as an adult. Caudillo testified that he and former Sheriff’s Detective Robert Crabb interviewed Andrew Reynolds, 14, of Manchester, who told them he witnessed part of the shooting. Reynolds was at the Cobarrobia home on Garcia Court the night of the shooting and spent some of the evening with Escareno. Caudillo said Reynolds told him Escareno came over to the house and was helping Reynolds with his homework when Escareno received a call on his cell phone. Escareno left, and shortly thereafter, Reynolds heard Escareno in the street “shout- ing like he was fighting with someone,” MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal Caudillo said.
