Mario Fierro was shot six times at close range outside North Park home, according to prosecutors.
A man accused of gunning down his ex-girlfriend's fiance in North Park carried out the crime in a fit of jealousy and obsession, a prosecutor told jurors Monday, but a defense attorney insisted the shooting was committed in self-defense.
After a judge declined the restraining order request, Alvarez's attempts to contact her persisted, McCarthy said, including through multiple attempts to secure a job at Cathedral Catholic High School and mailing letters to new home addresses that the woman did not share with him. One search made less than a week after the engagement announcement read simply,"How to kill your ex's fiance."
Defense attorney Kerry Armstrong told jurors Alvarez has high-functioning autism and is"extremely religious," two aspects of his life that heavily informed his actions leading up to the shooting. Armstrong said the picture bothered Alvarez because of his client's religious nature and he was concerned that Fierro"might lead her down the path of substance abuse." The attorney said Alvarez"believed it was his role to protect her" and wanted to speak with Fierro for that reason.
Armstrong alleged Fierro said something to the effect of,"I know who the you are. I'm going to kill you. Get out of here."
