David Martinez had pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter for the killing of a Pomona police SWAT officer who was helping to serve a search warrant at a San Gabriel house.
A manwho was helping to serve a search warrant at a San Gabriel house where the defendant and his family lived more than eight years ago was sentenced Tuesday, Jan. 17 to 10 years in prison.
Defense attorney Brady Sullivan said in November that he would ask for a 10-year sentence — the bulk of which Martinez has already served in custody. The defendant told jurors he was startled to hear screaming after firing the shot, turned around, dropped the shotgun, laid down and said he was sorry. Police went to the house early that morning to serve a search warrant as part of an ongoing investigation by a task force into the Mongols, Deputy District Attorney Hilary Williams told jurors during the retrial.
The deputy district attorney told the panel that it was “irrational on every level” to shoot a law enforcement officer in front of some of the defendant’s own family members, but said the defendant was “high on methamphetamine” at the time of the shooting.
