2014 was a difficult year for Isla Vista. Community members and college students experienced a meningitis outbreak and the Deltopia âriots,â along with several publicized drive-by shootings and sexual assaults, according to Darcel Elliott, who, in 2014, worked for former Assemblymember Das Williams.Â
