Jorge Manuel Sanchez, 20, pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges related to the three shooting deaths and the injury shooting of a 16-year-old boy.
SAN DIEGO — A young man pleaded guilty this week to committing a trio of San Diego killings that took place within a year's time, including two gang-related murders and the shooting death of his girlfriend.
Sanchez pleaded guilty to murder in the Aug. 1, 2019, shooting of 57- year-old Marco Magana in Mountain View and another murder count for the Feb. 8, 2020, shooting of 19-year-old Leah Posey at a Southcrest park. The shooting that killed Posey also left a teenage boy injured, and Sanchez pleaded guilty to an attempted murder count for that victim.
Sanchez was 17 years old at the time of Magana and Posey's deaths and 18 years old when Cortez was killed. The prosecutor said Sanchez also admitted to allegations that the killings of Magana and Posey were to benefit a gang, and that he used a firearm for all the crimes.
