POMONA, Calif. - A Pomona man has been charged with three counts of murder following a high-speed police chase that claimed the lives of a young couple and their unborn child.
What we know:
On April 1, Pomona police officers were responding to a domestic violence call when Marshall Campbell Judson, 31, allegedly drove aggressively past patrol cars and reversed into one, nearly striking an officer.
Prosecutors say Judson then fled through a residential area at speeds exceeding 100 mph.
At the intersection of Garey Avenue and County Road, he allegedly broadsided a car occupied by Marc Anthony Trejo Saldivar, 26, and Jennifer Alejandra Loera Zarco, 25.
