OAKLAND, Calif. Dec 21 2011 AP—A man convicted of murdering an Oakland security guard who had reported him to police months earlier is heading to prison for 65 years to life.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that 20-year-old Dreshawn Lee was sentenced Tuesday in Alameda County Superior Court.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that 20-year-old Dreshawn Lee was sentenced Tuesday in Alameda County Superior Court.
Prosecutors say the December 2009 killing stemmed from an incident three months earlier, when Lee walked up to a taco truck carrying a sawed-off shotgun. Gary Jackson, the security guard for the taco truck, identified Lee to police.
The charges in that incident were later dropped. But, prosecutors say, Lee retaliated by hatching a plan to ambush Jackson on a street corner. The 28-year-old victim was gunned down, and his girlfriend also was wounded.
In August, a jury found Lee guilty of first-degree murder, assault and weapons charges.
