david is at the center of a fast-moving Malibu investigation after a dog was struck and killed in a gated community early Thursday morning. Lost Hills law enforcement said officers responded to a reported traffic collision involving a vehicle and a dog, and the case remains under investigation in Eastern Time terms as the morning unfolded on Thursday. Police would not confirm whether David Charvet was involved.
What investigators said after the collision
Law enforcement told News Digital that officers arrived to find both parties still at the scene. The dog’s owner took the animal for immediate medical attention, but the dog later died, and a report was written pending further investigation. Officials also said they are not treating the incident as a hit-and-run, even as claims from the pet owner suggest the driver left the area after the collision.
The timeline remains narrow and specific: the collision was reported just before 6 AM ET Thursday, and the response centered on a vehicle and a dog inside the gated Malibu community. The exact role of David in the incident has not been confirmed by law enforcement, and the investigation is still open.
Owner describes what happened in Malibu
Vera Errico, the dog’s owner, said she was walking her three dogs, all on leashes, when a pickup truck struck one of them. She said the dog was her 11-year-old English Labrador, Sunday, and that she and her husband took the animal straight to the vet after the collision. Errico said the vet had to euthanize the dog.
Errico also said the driver did not stop after the impact and that she believes he left the gated community before calling police. That account differs from the initial law-enforcement description, which said both parties were at the scene when officers arrived. David has not publicly commented in the material provided, and his representative has been contacted for comment.
David and the wider picture
The only confirmed facts now are that a dog died after a vehicle collision in Malibu, the matter was documented by officers, and investigators are still sorting out what happened. David remains an accused figure in the account being examined, but police have not confirmed his involvement.
That distinction matters because the case is being handled as an active inquiry, not a closed finding. For now, David remains at the center of a painful local incident in Malibu, and the next step will likely depend on what investigators determine from the report and any further statements tied to the scene.
