── People v. Zenquis CA4/1 ── Court: California Court of Appeal Date: April 27, 2026 Category: General Filed 4/27/26 P. v. Zenquis CA4/1 NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN OFFICIAL REPORTS California Rules of Court, rule 8.1115(a), prohibits courts and parties from citing or relying on opinions not certified for publication or ordered published, except as specified by rule 8.1115(b). This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115. COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION ONE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE PEOPLE, D086035 Plaintiff and Respondent, v. (Super. Ct. No. SCD304119) BREEANA ZENQUIS, Defendant and Appellant. APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Steven E. Stone, Judge. Affirmed as modified. Annie Fraser, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. Rob Bonta, Attorney General, Charles C. Ragland, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Arlene A. Sevidal, Assistant Attorney General, Christopher P. Beesley and Connor O. Sakati, Deputy Attorneys General, for Plaintiff and Respondent. Breeana Zenquis appeals from a judgment after a jury convicted her of battery with serious bodily injury and assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury. She argues there is insufficient evidence to support the conviction for assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury. She further argues, and the People concede, that the probation order should be modified to reflect the trial court’s oral rulings at sentencing. We conclude that sufficient evidence supports the conviction for assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury. We also accept the People’s concession as to the probation order and modify it accordingly. As so modified, we affirm the judgment. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND In June 2024, Ann G. was visiting San Diego with her three children. On their last day, they drove to Point Loma for fish tacos before their flight home. The parking lot was crowded. After Ann pulled into a parking spot, Zenquis stopped her truck behind her and accused Ann of stealing her spot. Zenquis yelled, “If you stay here, you better be ready for a fight, you fucking white bitch.” After parking a few spots away, Zenquis approached Ann’s car again on foot. She knocked on Ann’s window, tried to open the door, and yelled, “If you stay here, you better be ready for a fight. You know I wanted this spot.” Ann told Zenquis she did not want to fight over a parking spot. Zenquis walked away. Ann and her children got out of the car. Zenquis then returned and continued yelling at Ann. She threatened to key their rental car while they were having lunch. Ann was standing by the driver’s door of her car in a narrow space between parked vehicles. Zenquis approached and “shoulder checked” Ann, causing her to fall backwards against the car. Ann pushed Zenquis back to create space for herself. Zenquis then hit Ann in the head, grabbed her hair, yanked it backwards, and spun Ann around twice while pulling her into the 2 parking lot. Ann could feel her hair “ripping and breaking” and “pulling on the scalp.” Zenquis was behind her and Ann could not see anything. Zenquis then let go of Ann’s hair and punched her in the face with a closed fist. Ann described it as “one big punch” to her left eyebrow. Ann started bleeding profusely from a laceration to her eyebrow. Her sunglasses and cell phone went flying into the parking lot. Ann felt nauseous and was trying not to pass out in front of her children. Zenquis left the scene driving her truck with a female passenger. Ann went to the emergency room, where she received four stitches to the cut above
