He was also found to be a felon who had serious prior convictions.His bail was reduced from $950,000 to $500,000 following the verdicts. The San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office said it requested at the time that it be set at no bail.
Cordero was transported to the Riverside Community Hospital following the shooting, where he succumbed to his injuries, officials said.
