P. v. Ortega CA4/1
A jury convicted Rosman Ortega of the first degree murder of Jesus Enriquez (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a); count 1) and attempted murder of Jesus's sister, Isabel
(§§ 664, 187, subd. (a); count 2). It found true allegations as to both counts that Ortega was a principal and that at least one principal used a firearm, causing great bodily injury or death to a person (§12022.53, subds. (d), (e)(1)), and Ortega intentionally and personally discharged a firearm, causing great bodily injury or death to a person
(§ 12022.53, subd. (d)). It also found true that Ortega committed count 1 for the benefit of, or in association with a criminal street gang with the specific intent to promote, further, or assist in criminal conduct by gang members (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(1)) and that he committed count 2 in a willful, deliberate, and premeditated manner (§ 189).
