A 24-year-old man was sentenced Friday, May 8 to 15 years in prison for fatally shooting a 17-year-old outside a Walmart in La Habra nearly three years ago.<\/p>\n
Joshua Christopher Brooks pleaded guilty on May 1 to voluntary manslaughter and robbery and admitted sentencing enhancements for the personal use of a gun and committing a crime while out on bail. Brooks had credit for 1,163 days behind bars, nearly 3 1\/4 years, according to court records.<\/p>\n
As part of his plea deal, a murder charge was dismissed. Brooks also pleaded guilty last week to leading police on a chase and having a concealed loaded unregistered gun in the vehicle and was sentenced on Friday in that case to two years, but had credit for time served, according to court records.<\/p>\n
Brooks killed the victim, identified in the criminal complaint as only Isaiah S., on July 7, 2023. Police received several 911 calls about 8:35 p.m. related to the shooting outside the store at the Westridge Plaza shopping center at 1340 S. Beach Blvd., about a block south of Imperial Highway.<\/p>\n
Another man was also wounded in the shooting but survived, police said.<\/p>\n
Brooks committed the robbery on Jan. 31, 2023, according to court records.<\/p>\n
