Ex-Boyfriend Arrested In Connection With Stabbing of Man and Woman at Berkeley Vista Point

Authorities arrested Cesar Lozano, 23, on May 9 for his alleged involvement in a violent attack on two victims at a Berkeley vista point on May 3. Lozano, the ex-boyfriend of the female victim, faces serious charges including attempted murder and robbery. The male victim endured around 20 stab wounds and theft of personal items, while the female victim suffered a wrist slash and pole assault. Initially, the female victim was uncooperative, but she later identified Lozano’s voice during the attack, which involved masked assailants. The incident has drawn attention to public safety concerns in the Berkeley area, prompting local authorities to review security measures in popular outdoor locations.

The attack illustrates the potential dangers of domestic disputes escalating into public violence. Lozano remains in custody at Santa Rita Jail as the investigation continues. Community members are urged to report any suspicious behavior to enhance public safety.
