A young Pomona couple, days away from welcoming their first child, were bystanders in a high-speed police pursuit that took their lives, and prosecutors have filed murder charges against the man accused of causing the crash.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified Jennifer Alejandra Loera-Zarco, 25, and Marc Anthony Trejo Sald\u00edvar, 26, as the couple killed in the crash Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Family members said Loera-Zarco was pregnant, and the couple had been preparing to welcome their baby boy next Friday.<\/p>\n
On Friday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office filed a felony complaint charging Marshall Campbell Judson, 31, with two counts of murder in their deaths, as well as a third count of murder in the death of the unborn child. <\/p>\n
Judson also faces additional charges, including fleeing police in a vehicle causing death, assault on a peace officer and a firearm-related offense. He is being held on $6-million bail and is expected to appear at an arraignment hearing Monday at the Pomona Courthouse, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
Tony Trejo, Marc\u2019s father, says the couple had spent their final days preparing for their baby\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had just finished setting up the bassinet, shelves, and his baby basket,\u201d said Trejo.<\/p>\n
Marc, known to family and friends as \u201cTiger,\u201d had been working to build an accessory dwelling unit at the family\u2019s Santa Ana home, where he planned to live with Loera-Zarco and their newborn.<\/p>\n
Earlier that day, after working on the unit, Marc and Loera-Zarco left to get food at an In-N-Out in Pomona, Trejo said. The police pursuit was unfolding nearby as the couple pulled out of the drive-through. Moments later, the suspect\u2019s car crashed into their vehicle, Trejo said.<\/p>\n
Trejo said he did not get a chance to say goodbye to Marc that day. Marc\u2019s mother, Sandra Sald\u00edvar, had briefly seen him earlier, exchanging a quick hello and goodbye before he left.<\/p>\n
Marc worked for the City of Pomona and also did freelance social media work, according to his father. As a soccer player, he earned a full-ride scholarship to Vanguard University and later completed his master\u2019s degree in business administration at Hope International University.<\/p>\n
Loera-Zarco worked as a student aide with the Pomona Unified School District, supporting children on the autism spectrum, according to Trejo.<\/p>\n
