Police have arrested six suspects in connection with the January 2007 beating homicide of a 39-year-old Hollister man on Park Hill and have alleged it was carried out in retaliation against the victim for acting as a witness to another crime.

A Gilroy woman in custody on murder charges after allegedly driving drunk and causing a Jan. 14 car accident that killed her husband and daughter did not enter a plea Thursday, but she will appear in court again later this month, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.

Two suspects accused of robbing two Hollister stores on San Juan Road in April 2010 – and leading police on a chase through Salinas before ending in a crash that killed a fourth accused assailant – had their scheduled jury trials moved from March to June, according to court records.
