District Attorney Erik Nasarenko announced today that an amended complaint has been filed in the case against Austin Allen Eis (DOB 05/29/98), of Camarillo. Eis is now charged with first-degree murder for the unlawful killing of 15-year-old Wesley W., of Thousand Oaks. Follow-up investigation also identified six additional students who were in the path of Eis’s vehicle. The amended complaint now charges Eis with a total of 19 counts of attempted murder. Other previous charges remain unchanged.
“In light of the ongoing investigation we have discovered new evidence to support additional charges and defendant’s premeditation,” said Senior Deputy District Attorney Amber Lee, a member of the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office Major Crimes Homicides Unit. “The amended complaint reflects that evidence.”
