Tragic Turn of Events: Thousand Oaks Hammer Attack Results in Mother’s Death In a devastating update to the shocking hammer attack that occurred in Thousand Oaks, a woman has tragically succumbed to her wounds after nearly two weeks in the hospital. As a result, her alleged attacker, who happens to be her own son, will now face a murder charge. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office is treating this incident as a homicide and is conducting a thorough investigation. The incident unfolded on November 19 when Scott Goldberg, 21, allegedly assaulted a man and a woman in their 60s with a hammer. Initially, officials indicated that Goldberg had some familiarity with the couple involved, but it was later revealed that the victims were, in fact, Goldberg’s parents. Recently, on Friday, Goldberg’s mother, 63-year-old Alison Marshall, tragically succumbed to her injuries at Los Robles Regional Medical Center. Consequently, what was once an attempted murder charge is now expected to be upgraded to a murder charge, as reported by the Ventura County Star. In addition to the murder charge, Goldberg, a resident of Thousand Oaks, also faces an assault with a deadly weapon charge for the alleged hammer attack on his 64-year-old father, as highlighted by the Ventura County Star. As the legal proceedings continue, Goldberg is currently being held without bail at the Ventura County Main Jail. His next court appearance is scheduled for December 20 in the Ventura County Superior Court. This heart-wrenching incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of addressing mental health issues and providing support for individuals and families in crisis. We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends affected by this tragic event, and we hope that they find solace and strength in this difficult time. In conclusion, the Thousand Oaks hammer attack has taken a tragic turn with the death of the victim’s mother. We must strive to create a society where mental health resources are accessible and where individuals in crisis receive the support they need. May we come together to prevent such senseless acts of violence and protect the well-being of our communities. (Tag: Criminal Law) (Image: Tragic Loss and Grief)
