His father killed a boy with a meat cleaver. He’s being investigated in the killing of a minor with an axe

A naked man arrested at a Ventura County high school and linked to killing a teen at a nearby home is the son of the man who killed a 6-year-old boy with a meat cleaver in 2007, authorities said.

Twenty-four-year-old Zuberi Sharp is being investigated in connection with a death Thursday at a house in the 400 block of Jeanne Court. Ventura County sheriff’s Capt. Ken Truitt said the person who called police was hysterical and said her baby had been murdered, according to the Ventura County Star. Sharp was arrested around 8 p.m.

Sheriff’s deputies who were chasing him said that he was armed with an axe, according to recordings of radio communications during the incident. They also suggested the axe might be tied to the death on Jeanne Court.

“The item used, which was an axe, is probably still in his possession,” said one deputy, according to the radio communication.

Sharp is the son of Calvin Sharp, who killed 6-year-old Sev’n Molina in 2007, prosecutors told The Times. Calvin Sharp pleaded guilty in the case and was sentenced to life without parole.

Calvin Sharp killed Molina with a meat cleaver in August 2007. He also attacked the boy’s mother, Sandra Ruiz and a neighbor, Diane Cox.

The two Sharp cases are eerily similar: well-regarded men in their 20s accused of heinous crimes against minors. Both Sharps graduated from Newbury Park High School, where they played sports. Calvin Sharp played basketball in the 1990s; his son played basketball and volleyball in the 2010s.

Calvin Sharp told investigators shortly after he killed Molina that he had gotten messages from XM Satellite Radio to kill the child and stab the boy’s mother, the Ventura County Star reported at the time.

Prosecutors said in their indictment of Calvin Sharp that he went to Sandra Ruiz’s apartment with the intention of forcing her to have sex with him. The two had dated but broken up about six months before the attack. Zuberi Sharp had attended the same preschool as Sev’n.

When Calvin Sharp arrived at Ruiz’s house, the two began to argue. At a certain point, he got upset with Sev’n and chased the child outside. He stabbed the boy and Ruiz as she tried to intervene.

“As soon as I saw the news this morning, I thought: You gotta be kidding me,” said Maeve Fox, the prosecutor who handled Calvin Sharp’s murder case.

A neighbor also confirmed that Zuberi was Calvin Sharp’s son.

“He would help me with odd jobs. They came over not that long ago. He was always very helpful,” said David Churik.

Sheriff’s deputies were called to lock down Newbury Park High School after Zuberi Sharp ran onto campus and got onto the football field. Many students were still at the school despite the late hour.

The teenage victim, who sources said is a relative of the suspect, was discovered with blunt force trauma to the head and died on the way to Los Robles Regional Medical Center, Truitt told the Star. The Sheriff’s Department did not provide info about prior interactions with Zuberi.

Video of the arrest showed the suspect being taken into custody on the football field at the high school.

Authorities are also asking that any member of the public who might have video of the suspect’s flight from the scene of the homicide send it to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department.

Sharp is currently being held without bail and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday.
