A man was sentenced Thursday morning to 50 years to life for killing Hayward Police Sgt. Scott Lunger nearly seven years ago.
In a packed courtroom of family and friends for defendant Mark Estrada as well as police and Lunger’s family, Judge C. Don Clay announced the sentence following a negotiated disposition. The case did not go to trial.“Mark Estrada did a senseless act,” Clay told members of the courtroom.
Lunger’s longtime girlfriend said Lunger and her had talked about marriage. She called July 22 the “most horrific day of my life.”Detective Justin Green, Lunger’s partner the night he was killed, described Lunger as a leader in the department and a role model for younger officers.Palo Alto Parents Greg and Amy Colburn Sentenced To 8 Weeks In College Admissions ScandalHe said he feels a sense of failure because Lunger is no longer living. He was at Lunger’s side following the shooting.
“My dad is missing it all,” his youngest daughter said. The family did not immediately speak to reporters following the hearing. “There is a huge climate of fear,” Cruz said, citing former President Donald Trump calling Mexican people rapists.
