Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko announced that Abba Avrohom Bryski, 35, of Agoura Hills, has been charged with murder in connection with the death of Nicholas Lang on Oct. 20, 2026.
The incident. On the evening of Oct. 20, 2026, around 8:30 p.m., Bryski is accused of driving his Infiniti Q60 coupe at Lang and intentionally hitting him.

'We are committed to holding the defendant accountable and pursuing justice for the victim and his loved ones.'
Prosecution. Senior Deputy District Attorney David Russell, a member of the Ventura County District Attorney's Office Homicide Unit, is prosecuting the case.
