P. v. Solorzano
Mario Solorzano appeals from the judgment entered after his no contest plea to two counts of attempted murder (Pen. Code, §§ 664/187, subd. (a)) and his admission that he was personally armed with a firearm and personally inflicted great bodily injury. (§§ 12022.5, 12022.7, subd. (a).) Pursuant to the plea bargain, the court imposed a total aggregate term of 24 years, 4 months in state prison. Appellant filed a notice of appeal and obtained a certificate of probable cause.
On January 23, 2010, appellant was driving a car with his 16-year old passenger, Elmer. Appellant pulled up next to Guillermo and Jorge, who were walking along the road. Appellant and Elmer pointed handguns at the men, and appellant said, "This is NSLS (Non-Stop Locos Street Gang), where are you from? Jorge replied, "Nowhere." Appellant fired at the men, who dropped to the ground. They stood up, and appellant fired again, striking Guillermo's hand.
