RIVERSIDE (AP) — A California jury has decided the gunman in the gang hate killing of a black teenager should spend the rest of his life in prison.

The Riverside County jury rejected the death penalty and recommended Tuesday that 31-year-old Daniel Murillo Salgado be sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. He will be sentenced June 17.

The same jury last month convicted Murillo of the October 2002 car-to-car shooting death of 13-year-old Markess Lancaster, who wasn’t a gang member. Jurors also found the killing was a hate crime.

The Riverside Press-Enterprise says Lancaster was targeted by a Hispanic gang because he was black and the killers wrongly believed he and others with him were rival gang members.

Three other defendants have either been convicted or pleaded guilty.

    How come the black community doesn’t riot against the Hispanic community when the Hispanics engage in racism? If this kid had been killed by a white police officer the black community would be dragging white people from their cars and beating them to death….

      I’ve wondered that as well.

      That’s because this is a Mexican gang member and not a police officer… The blacks are probably handling this in a a different way, and by different way, I mean attacking mexicans in a racist and possibly deadly way.

    Everybody should know this: THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT IS responsible in part with the Hispanic hatred towards blacks. The county jail has promoted this behavior for years! Some attorney need to do a class action law suit against the Sheriff department for proliferating Hispanic hate crimes against blacks.
    I have been to jail and seen how the WHITE MAN has made Hispanics & Blacks hate each other.
    Mexicans please beware of the White Police devils who twisted your thoughts.
    And Black Folk wake the Hell up and somebody stand up instead of letting the White Man/Police/Law Enforcement Devils have a free ride to do this evil….
    God Bless America {Yeah the really mean “God Bless the white people in America.”}
