California DA ‘Shocked’ After Judge Frees 2 Murder Suspects Without Bail: ‘Absolutely a Danger to Our Community’ | 18 Nov 2025 | A California judge has freed two murder suspects without bail as Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen warns “people’s lives” are at risk. Agustin Sandoval and Vicente Aguilera-Chavez, who were both charged with murder in connection with a 2017 shooting that left one dead and another injured, were arrested after Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety detectives were able to identify them as suspects in 2024. On Friday, Judge Hector Ramon released Sandoval “on his own recognizance,” meaning the suspect does not have to pay bail, while Aguilera was released two weeks earlier, on October 31, a Santa Clara County District Attorney spokesperson told Fox News. “It was bad enough that an accused murderer with a violent past was let out of custody, now there are two,” Rosen said. “The odds of re-offense or fleeing from justice just doubled. People’s lives ride on those odds.”
