Father charged in child’s death to face trial A father who is charged with a hit-and-run case that led to the death to his own son and further charged with child endangerment in a crash near Rosecrans Street was given a trial date of March 17.
Angelo Arroyo Fabiani, 40, appeared Oct. 2 in San Diego Superior Court and received the trial date after he pleaded not guilty to both charges.
Fabiani remains free on $500,000 bond.
The accident occurred June 2 after his Nissan went down an embankment near Interstate 5 and Rosecrans Street and hit a palm tree. Witnesses said he frantically broke a window and was able to unhook his 4-year-old son from the child-safety seat, but the boy dropped about 8-10 feet to the ground.
No one saw him flee, according to witnesses in the Sept. 17 preliminary hearing, but he wasn’t there when police and an ambulance showed up. Valentino Fabiani was declared brain dead in a hospital and died eight days later.
A deputy medical examiner testified the boy’s injuries stemmed from both the accident and the fall. Fabiani was arrested days later. He is on probation for a misdemeanor drunken-driving conviction in 2011 and faces seven years in prison if he’s convicted.

The cause of death of a woman whose body was found floating near Sunset Cliffs on Oct. 2 has yet to be released by the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Lifeguards recovered the body of a woman — described as being in her mid-20s — about 100 yards from the end of Monaco Street shortly after 12:30 p.m.
The identity of the woman is also yet to be released by the county Medical Examiner’s Office. Gym to host fundraiser for breast cancer awareness
The Private Gym has assembled a variety of vendors to share their services with the public to raise money and awareness for the prevention of breast cancer. Wellness services will include chiropractic assessment and adjustment, 10-minute massages and acu-puncture treatments on Sunday, Oct. 20 from 1 to 4 p.m. Pampering will include beauty treatments for skin and hair. Entertainment will include an interactive drum circle, professional tarot card readings and body art (henna and glitter tattoos).
The focus of this event is to educate women about a relatively new breast cancer detection process called thermography.
Thermography provides a safe, simple, and painless way to identify developing breast cancer. By carefully examining aspects of temperature and blood-vessel activity of the breasts in thermal images, signs of possible cancer or pre-cancerous cell growth may be detected within the first year of development. This provides the earliest detection of breast cancer possible; in fact, 8-10 years earlier than a mammogram. But it is is also the only actual preventative screening available today.
Catherine Johnson of Silk Thermal Imaging in San Diego is a licensed thermography provider and will be available to answer questions and provide more detailed information at this event, which will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. at The Private Gym, 4895 Voltaire St.

Grand Canyon University, a private Christian university, has teamed up with local nonprofit organization Max’s Ring of Fire and The Ronan Thompson Foundation to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer. The trio will host San Diego’s inaugural Run to Fight Children’s Cancer on Oct. 26 at NTC Park at Liberty Station.
 The event will feature a 5K run/walk, one-mile family run and quarter-mile Cancer Survivors’ Walk to honor children who have beaten cancer, those who are still fighting and those who have lost their battle with the disease.
 Each year in California, more than 1,500 children and young adults are diagnosed with cancer, and 320 children die from the disease, yet pediatric cancer continues to be the most underfunded category of all cancer research.
In 2011, GCU hosted its first Run to Fight Children’s Cancer in Phoenix and the event quickly became Arizona’s largest and most successful run dedicated solely to pediatric cancer. In just two years, the run has attracted more than 8,500 participants and raised nearly $200,000 for children and families battling the disease.
Runners and walkers can raise funds by asking friends, family, neighbors and colleagues to support their efforts on race day. All runners and walkers will receive a sport tech running shirt, a finisher’s medal and shoelaces in gold — the color of childhood cancer awareness.
The event will include music, food, games and other activities.
