P. v. Villalpando CA3
The victim and his girlfriend, L.A., lived together on the same property where L.A. worked for a towing company. The victim sold methamphetamine from a shed on that property. Sometime between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on February 7, 2016, L.A. went out to the shed to ask the victim if he wanted something to eat. The door to the shed was open, the television was on, and the victim was seated behind a desk. Defendant was standing to the side of the desk.
Defendant and L.A. said hello to each other. L.A. knew defendant because defendant’s brother and the victim were friends. Defendant had been to their home a few times before, with his brother. The day before, defendant came over and brought some potted palms. The victim told L.A. he would be up to the house in five minutes. L.A. walked back to the house.
No more than 10 minutes later, L.A. heard a gunshot and she heard the victim yell her name.
