On 4-6-08, deputies responded to a call of a stabbing on Moorpark Avenue in the city of Moorpark. Upon arrival, deputies discovered that Gregory Ruiz had been stabbed in the back with a kitchen knife. Ruiz and other witnesses reported that Gilbert Joseph Gutierrez was the person who actually stabbed Ruiz. Just prior to the stabbing, Ruiz and Gutierrez’s son were arguing, which angered Gutierrez who then walked up behind Ruiz and subsequently stabbed Ruiz causing serious injury, including a punctured lung and nearly striking Ruiz’s heart. Gutierrez fled the scene, but was located today (5-1-08) and was subsequently taken into custody by sheriff’s deputies from the Moorpark Special Enforcement Unit & the East County Major Crimes Unit for the crime of attempted murder. Gutierrez is currently being held at the Pre-Trial Detention Facility in lieu of $500,000 bail.
