Two murders were committed on Monday, July 8th, 2024, with one individual held accountable - 18-year-old Jose Manjarrez from Blythe, California. Despite the gravity of these crimes, Manjarrez is due for release today due to "issues needing to be resolved." Inconceivably, no bail is required for his release.

This is a heart-wrenching story affecting not only the community of Blythe but every citizen who values justice. Two lives were abruptly taken: Audelio Solorio, 45, and Deveon Smith, 27. They deserve justice, and their families deserve peace in knowing their tragic loss is not in vain.

The fraught relationship between Jose and the police department, where his mother is an employee, only raises further questions and fears about the transparency and integrity of this situation.

We implore the news outlets, particularly the KESQ News Channel 3, to cover this story and make the public aware of the pending release of a suspected murderer. The public deserves to be informed. This is not just a local issue but a nationwide concern about our justice system's flaws.

Therefore, we ask the prosecutor's office to reconsider Jose Manjarrez's release and ensure a thorough re-evaluation of his case. We will not tolerate a system that allows suspects of violent crimes to roam free without proper judicial process.

Justice needs to be served for Audelio Solorio and Deveon Smith. We cannot stand by and allow the cracks in our justice system to go unaddressed. Let's push for accountability and transparency. Please sign this petition. This is my hometown too!!!
