San Diego County District Attorney @SummerStephan San Diego County District Attorney @SummerStephan discusses a major step toward justice in a decades‑old case and explains why timely testing of sexual assault kits is essential to protecting survivors and holding offenders accountable. This week’s DA Weekly News highlights how persistence, advanced DNA technology, and collaboration helped bring closure to a victim and her family after nearly 30 years.

A San Diego County man has been sentenced for anim A San Diego County man has been sentenced for animal cruelty and neglect. 🐾

Nelson Andres Zepeda, who was convicted by a jury in August of six misdemeanor counts, was sentenced to probation, ordered to forfeit all seized animals to the Department of Animal Services, pay impoundment costs and victim restitution in an amount to be determined. He was also ordered to see a psychologist or psychiatrist and follow their recommendations, take an animal cruelty class, and is prohibited from having animals for five years.

Zepeda operated an unlicensed “holistic” animal care facility in Julian called Urban Feline. Investigators found animals suffering from untreated mange, severe infections, fractures and malnutrition. One dog, Roble, died while in Zepeda’s care, and his owner was never notified that Roble was ill or had died.

At the sentencing this week, Roble’s owner delivered an emotional victim impact statement, sharing the heartbreak of losing a beloved companion and the pain of not being told about his final days.

Following the investigation, eight animals were rescued, and most improved significantly after receiving proper veterinary care.

If you suspect an animal is being neglected or abused, please report it to your local animal services agency. Your call can save a life. 🐾

Animals can't speak for themselves, so it's our re Animals can't speak for themselves, so it's our responsibility to speak up.
 
A man who illegally operated an unlicensed holistic animal care facility in Julian was sentenced today after a jury convicted him on six misdemeanor counts of animal abuse, neglect, and failure to care for an animal. 
 
In April 2025, our partners at the Department of Animal Services received a complaint about the dogs and cats at Urban Feline. Investigators found animals with untreated mange, respiratory infections, leg fractures, and malnutrition. One dog, Roble, died while in the man's care, and his owner was never told he was sick or that he had passed.
 
Eight animals were rescued. Most improved significantly once they received proper veterinary care. 
 
"Cruelty and neglect like this has no place in our community," said DA Summer Stephan. "Animals deserve to be treated with care and compassion, and those who intentionally harm them must be held accountable."

San Diego County DA @summerstephan Stephan recentl San Diego County DA @summerstephan Stephan recently stood with our community at the Amazing Grace event to talk about what real progress looks like when we face substance use and overdose together. We’ve seen powerful signs of hope with a nearly 50% drop in overdose deaths in the Black community since 2023, and that didn’t happen by accident. It happened because people cared enough to speak up, share data, reduce stigma, and take action.
 
At Amazing Grace’s event, “Voices of Hope”, community members learned how overdoses in the Black community in San Diego are disproportionality high. Faith and community leaders told real stories of resilience and recovery, and discussed the stigma around substance use disorder.
 
If you’re with someone experiencing an overdose, get help immediately. California’s Good Samaritan law provides protections for people who call 911 during a drug overdose emergency from arrest or prosecution for certain minor drug offenses.
 
Amazing Grace is a committee under the Substance Use and Overdose Prevention Taskforce. The Amazing Grace committee is facilitated by Carla Crudup and made up of faith-based and community leaders focusing on overdose education and awareness, especially within our Black community. 
 
Together, through education, compassion, and action, we can continue turning awareness into hope and hope into progress.

Justice, nearly 30 years later. Michael D. Graham Justice, nearly 30 years later.

Michael D. Graham was sentenced to 60-years-to-life in prison for the 1996 rape and sexual assault of a 6-year-old girl in University City.

A DNA match through the national CODIS database ultimately helped investigators identify Graham and bring him back to San Diego to face justice.

Today, DA Summer Stephan  joined San Diego Police Department law enforcement partners to share how decades of persistent investigative work and advances in DNA technology helped solve this case.

We never forget victims. We never stop seeking justice. And no matter how much time passes, we will continue to find those responsible.

San Diego County District Attorney @SummerStephan San Diego County District Attorney @SummerStephan  announced hate crime charges today against a 20-year-old man for a series of graffiti incidents in the Lake Murray area last month that left multiple vehicles, fences, walls, and a residence spray painted with hate language, including swastikas, the N-word, and a racist and derogatory term in Spanish.

Eli S. Peralta was arraigned today and pleaded not guilty to four felony counts including using terrorizing symbols on private property and vandalism. If convicted he faces five years in local custody.

“The felony charges my office filed should make it clear that hate crimes are taken very seriously in San Diego County,” DA Stephan said. “Vandalizing someone’s property with swastikas and racist slurs is more than an act of vandalism. It is an act intended to intimidate, demean, and cause fear. That is not what we stand for in this community. We will stand with victims, hold those responsible accountable, and make clear that hate and intimidation have no place here.”

The tagging incidents took place between September 9 and 10 in a 5-block radius of the Lake Murray neighborhood. The cumulative total damage is about $14,000.
Peralta committed these acts with another person. Anyone with information on the second suspect is encouraged to contact San Diego Police.

The District Attorney’s Office has a dedicated Hate Crimes Unit. In 2025 we filed hate crimes against 14 adult offenders. Ten were race based, three were religion-based and one was gender based.

Peralta will next be in court on October 9 for a readiness hearing. He is out of custody and must stay away from all vandalism locations and not possess vandalism tools.

Deputy District Attorney Mei Owen of the Hate Crimes Unit is prosecuting this case.
