In re D.B.
D.B. appeals from the orders declaring wardship (Welf. & Inst. Code, 602) and committing him to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Facilities, after findings that he committed murder (Pen. Code, 187, subd. (a)), possessed a fireman as a minor ( 12101, subd. (a)(1)), and possessed live ammunition as a minor ( 12101, subd. (b)(1)).[1] The juvenile court found true allegations that D.B. was an active participant in a criminal street gang and had committed the murder for the benefit of that gang. ( 190.2, subd. (a)(22), 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(C).) The juvenile court also found true allegations that during commission of the murder, he personally and intentionally discharged a firearm, causing death to the victim. ( 12022.53, subd. (d).) The juvenile court set the maximum time of confinement at 50 years to life for murder, eight months for the firearm possession, two months for the live ammunition possession, and six months for two previously sustained petitions for vandalism and robbery.
