Eddie Foster, a father of four, was moonlighting delivering Amazon packages when his car was taken, his family said
An 18-year-old man who caused fatal injuries to a San Diego-based sailor after stealing the victim's car in Coronado pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree murder. Ricardo Vazquez-Gongora was arrested last year for stealing 32-year-old Eddie Foster's car on June 11, then crashing it as Foster clung to the car's hood in an attempt to get the driver to stop.
Vazquez-Gongora, who turned 18 less than a month prior to the crash, is slated to be sentenced to 15 years to life in state prison in August. At Vazquez-Gongora's arraignment last summer, Deputy District Attorney Makenzie Harvey said he decided to steal a car after he and a teenage girl 'found themselves stranded in Coronado.' Harvey said the defendant came upon Foster's car, which was running and unlocked while he was delivering a package.
