P. v. Figueroa CA5
Appellant/defendant David Figueroa shot and wounded Ivan Lopez multiple times after Figueroa’s associate, Oscar Garcia, argued and fought with Lopez. Figueroa and Garcia were charged with multiple felonies with gang enhancements. The People’s theory was that Figueroa and Garcia were members of the Norteño gang, and they committed the offenses for the benefit of that gang. The defense theory was that Garcia and Lopez argued about whether Lopez talked to Garcia’s girlfriend, and the incident was not gang-related.
