Man Sought in Death of Wife in Camarillo

Deputies on Friday sought the public's help to find a man in connection with the death of his wife that detectives are investigating as a homicide.

Jose Guzman, 43, is being sought and he could be armed, the Ventura County Sheriff's Department said.

He disappeared before deputies arrived at a home on Walker Avenue in Camarillo at 12:30 Friday morning, deputies said.

His wife was found inside the home suffering from major undisclosed injuries. She died at a hospital.

Neighbor Sergio Serrano heard a terrible, high-pitched scream.

"It's just really strange, you know, in a neighborhood like this," he said. "It's really quiet around here."

Neighbors said Guzman is a truck driver with young boys.

"Yeah, they got two kids, really nice kids," said Mark Worthington. "I don't know what happened but the guy's a really nice guy, funny, never had any arguments. I didn't know they had any problems with the wife or anything like that."

He said the family was always outside and rushing to their kids' sporting events.
