On March 10th, 2026, Jose Angel Aguilar, a youth wearing a GPS device and on a court ordered furlough, cut off his GPS device and absconded while attending classes at Santiago Canyon College.
On February 2nd, 2026, the juvenile court granted weekly, academic furloughs for the youth to attend college classes. However, due to recent, potential violations, OC Probation requested the furloughs be vacated on March 6th, 2026. The furloughs were not vacated.
Prior to the furlough, the youth had been serving custody time at an OC Probation juvenile facility for a murder committed in 2021. OC Probation and other law enforcement agencies are actively searching for the youth.
