Description:

The suspect in a fatal hit-and-run case returned to court yesterday, and the case will move forward in February.

Troy Reynolds, the suspect in a 2024 hit-and-run collision that killed Yucca Valley teenager Joshua Barreras, returned to Court yesterday morning for a Pretrial Hearing. District Attorney Jason Gueltzow was present for the prosecution, as was Attorney James Rogan for the defense. Both attorneys confirmed with Judge Sarah Oliver that their parties were indeed ready to move forward with a Jury Trial on February 17, the date that Judge Oliver had scheduled during the previous hearing in November 2025.

Judge Oliver then offered the victim’s family an opportunity to address the Court, and statements were made by two members. Judge Oliver then addressed all members of the Court audience, and conveyed the importance of composure and respect throughout the trial. 

She said, “It will not get easier before it’s over, but it’s very important that everybody have composure, because it will interfere with Mr. Reynolds’ right to a fair trial. It will interfere with our process of justice.”

Troy Reynolds is charged with Felony Hit and Run Resulting in Permanent Injury or Death; he is currently out on $500,000 bail.
