LOS ANGELES – The mother of a 14-year-old girl wiped tears from her cheeks, as a Los Angeles jury recommended the death penalty for Jonathan Fajardo, who ki*led her daughter in a racially motivated shooting.
The 22-year-old Latino gang member was convicted of first-degree murder with special circumstances in Cheryl Green’s 2006 kil#i*gg, as well as the stabbing death of Christopher Ash, who was another gang member and potential witness to the young girl’s death.
Fajardo, who will be sentenced by a judge next January, was deemed eligible for the death penalty because the jury upheld special circumstance allegations including multiple murder, kil#i*gg a witness, committing a hate crime based on race and committing the crime for a gang, reports The Los Angeles Times.
According to court testimony, on Dec. 15, 2006, then 18-year-old Fajardo opened fire at a group of young blacks in the Harbor Gateway area, kil#i*gg Green and wounding three others.
