P. v. Salgado
A jury found defendant and appellant, Daniel Murillo Salgado (defendant), guilty as charged of one count of first degree murder, one count of discharging a firearm at an occupied motor vehicle, two counts of attempted murder, and one count of discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle. In connection with each count, the jury also found true various sentence enhancements based on defendant’s alleged use of a firearm and criminal street gang involvement. In addition, the jury found true the special circumstance allegation in connection with the murder and attempted murder charges that defendant was motivated to commit the crimes because of the victims’ race. Based on the jury’s guilty verdicts and true findings, the trial court sentenced defendant to serve a total term in state prison of life without the possibility of parole on the first degree murder conviction, and a consecutive term of 117 years to life on the remaining counts, sentence enhancements, and special circumstance findings.
