California Rabbi Charged in 28-Year-Old Worker's Costco Parking Lot Killing

Q: What happened in the moments before prosecutors say a California rabbi intentionally drove into a worker at a Camarillo Costco site?

It is not publicly known what happened immediately beforehand. Authorities have said only that Nicholas Lang was painting parking stripes in the Costco lot near the gas pumps around 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 20 when prosecutors allege Abba Avrohom Bryski drove his Infiniti Q60 directly at him and intentionally struck him. Investigators have not disclosed what led to the encounter, whether there was an argument, or whether Bryski and Lang knew each other. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office and prosecutors have both said the circumstances leading up to the collision remain under investigation. What is established so far is that witnesses reported a man had been hit by a vehicle, deputies arrived around 8:37 p.m., and witnesses pointed them to Bryski, who was detained at the scene. Lang, 28, of Modesto, was taken to Ventura County Medical Center, where he died from his injuries. Bryski, 35, of Agoura Hills, has been charged with murder, along with a misdemeanor count of resisting, obstructing or delaying a peace officer. Prosecutors also allege he personally used a deadly weapon, referring to the car. He remains in custody without bail, and his arraignment was continued to Nov. 18.
