P. v. Ayala CA2/3
Raymond Ayala appeals from the judgment entered after he pleaded no contest to one count of attempted murder (Pen. Code, §§ 664, 187, subd. (a)) with a firearm enhancement (§ 12022.53, subd. (c)). We affirm.
On November 7, 2017, Ayala was the passenger in a car driven by his codefendant Christopher Aguilera. Both Ayala and Aguilera were documented gang members. The car stopped on the street near where two men were standing, and Ayala called out the name of his gang. Ayala then fired multiple shots at the men from the front passenger seat of the vehicle.
Shortly after the shooting, the police conducted a traffic stop of the car and detained Ayala and Aguilera. A firearm and a spent casing were recovered from inside the vehicle. The police also obtained video from a nearby surveillance camera that captured the shooting. In a field show-up, one of the victims identified Ayala as the shooter.
