A Sacramento County jury convicted Ali Mustafa Hudson of second-degree murder and more for fatally shooting his mother and opening fire on responding deputies.
A man has been convicted of second-degree murder and other felony charges for the 2021 fatal shooting of his mother at a senior living facility and for opening fire on responding sheriff’s deputies, according to the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office.
The case stems from Jan. 19, 2021, when Sacramento County sheriff’s deputies were called twice to a senior living facility on reports of domestic violence and a restraining order involving Hudson and his mother, 66-year-old Ramona Hayes.
During the second response, prosecutors said Hudson became angry and demanded deputies leave. He then barricaded his mother inside the apartment and shot her four times, killing her.
Hudson then opened fire on responding deputies and exchanged gunfire with them until he ran out of ammunition, prosecutors said. He was struck during the exchange, but he was wearing body armor and suffered only minor injuries.
Prosecutors said Hudson had a prior felony conviction and was prohibited from possessing a firearm at the time of the shooting. An allegation that Hudson has a prior strike conviction for attempted robbery with a firearm will be decided at sentencing.
Hudson faces a maximum sentence of 123 years to life in prison.
