The hearing for defandants Jose Vizcarra and Nefi Bogard Tejeda, who are suspected in the death of Brizeida Campos of Rialto, will resume at 1:30 p.m. Friday in Fontana Superior Court, the records indicate.

Campos was with a group of friends who became involved in the fight outside the club that escalated into a shooting on Apr. 16, 2007.

Two men charged with a deadly shooting outside the El Patio nightclub in Rialto are scheduled for a preliminary hearing Thursday, after the hearing was re-scheduled at least twice before.

The hearing for defendants Jose Vizcarra and Nefi Bogard Tejada, who are suspected in the death of 19-year-old Brizeida Campos, of Rialto, will be at Fontana Superior Court. Campos was with a group of friends who became involved in the fight outside the club that escalated into a shooting on Apr. 16, 2007.

The crowd got into two separate vehicles, both which crashed about a block from each other along Foothill Boulevard, Rialto Police said, in an earlier report. Campos was found suffering from trauma to her chest and head in the rear seat of one of the vehicles, San Bernardino County Coroner's officials said.

Anthony Roman Marquez admitted taking part in the deadly shooting of 20-year-old Diego Diaz, at a Fontana party organized by party crews, during court proceedings Tuesday.

Diaz was shot Oct. 28, 2007 while on the dance floor at a party organized by various dance crews at a residence in the 8000 block of Alder Avenue. Shots were fired about 12:30 a.m. when a fight involving up to 30 people broke out on the dance floor, Fontana Sgt. Jeff Decker said in an earlier interview.
