INTRODUCTION
A jury convicted defendant of five counts of attempted murder in violation of Penal Code sections 664 and 187, subdivision (a).[1] The jury also found true an allegation that the attempted murders were committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang under section 186.22, subdivision (b), and allegations that defendant personally fired a handgun causing great bodily injury within the meaning of section 12022.53, subdivision (d). The court sentenced defendant to a total indeterminate term of 200 years to life. The court further ordered that defendant serve a minimum of 15 years before being considered for parole. (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(5).)
Defendant contends that: (1) there is insufficient evidence to support the conviction for the attempted murder of David Garcia (count 5); (2) there is insufficient evidence to support the true findings on the gang enhancement; and (3) the imposition of consecutive sentences violates his constitutional rights under Blakely v. Washington (2004) 542 U.S. 296 [124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403]. We disagree, and affirm.
