An Oak Park man has been charged with two counts of felony gross vehicular manslaughter following a fatal collision in Newbury Park, which claimed the lives of Alejandro and Maria Ramirez. Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko announced the charges and detailed that Neil Liam Reb also faces a special allegation designating the crime as a serious felony, according to a statement published on the District Attorney's official website.

The incident occurred on May 6, 2025, when Reb, behind the wheel of a 2024 Jeep Wrangler, reportedly collided with a Volkswagen Tiguan at the intersection of Via Las Brisas and Calle Del Prado and investigators claim that Reb was driving recklessly at the time of the crash, reportedly traveling at nearly twice the 45 mph speed limit, which caused the untimely passing of Mr. and Mrs. Ramirez; Ventura County Sheriff’s Office conducted the investigation leading to Reb's arrest on June 30.

Reb, whose date of birth is noted as November 7, 2003, is presently out of custody after posting a $50,000 bail. The details surrounding Reb's case, number 2025016279, point to a scheduled arraignment set for July 14, 2025, at 8:15 a.m. in the Ventura County Superior Court, and it is here where Reb will formally respond to the charges brought before him.
