A man has been sentenced to nearly 40 years in prison for a 2020 murder in a gated neighborhood.
On December 29, 2020, officials say 23-year-old Jesus Monsivais Jr. and several other people were driving through the community looking to break into cars.
While slowly driving past Oscar Castillo Jr.’s house in a cul-de-sac of the neighborhood, the group was questioned by Castillo. According to court records, Monsivais got out of the vehicle and shot Castillo in his front yard, killing him.
On Tuesday, it was announced that Monsivais accepted a plea agreement, being sentenced to 35 years in prison for Castillo’s murder.
