An ex-LAPD officer who fled to Mexico for two months after shooting and killing a man in downtown Pomona was found guilty Wednesday of murder.
Solis’ attorney, Bradley Brunon, told reporters Wednesday that he was disappointed by the outcome.
“Henry Solis is a good person. He spent years serving the country honorably [and] would have made a terrific peace officer,” Brunon said. “Unfortunately, this event occurred and derailed his plans.... We felt that the evidence didn’t warrant a murder conviction — perhaps manslaughter on a theory of provocation or imperfect self-defense. [The] jury didn’t agree.”that she was also disappointed, having hoped for a first-degree murder conviction.
“We prayed, and we believed in God and Junior,” she said. “Today I prayed to him and the Virgin Mary, and it was happy news.”Solis faces 40 years to life in state prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced March 11.
