A man arrested in connection with a fatal crash that killed one Ventura County high school student and injured several others earlier this year has been slapped with additional charges in the case, including first-degree murder and multiple counts of attempted murder, authorities said.
The Ventura County district attorney’s office initially charged Eis with murder and four counts of assault with a deadly weapon along with several other offenses, including residential burglary, false imprisonment and brandishing a knife, associated with the earlier outburst of violence. As a result, the district attorney filed an amended criminal complaint against Eis last week charging him with first-degree murder, which alleges premeditation, and 19 counts of attempted murder.He lived to be outdoors, even in extremes like Death Valley.

“In light of the ongoing investigation we have discovered new evidence to support additional charges and defendant’s premeditation,” Senior Deputy Dist. Atty. Amber Lee said in a release. “The amended complaint reflects that evidence.”
