Mark Estrada was sentenced to 50 years to life in the murder of Scott Lunger, a Brentwood resident and Hayward police sergeant who was killed in the line of duty.
OAKLAND — In a Thursday court hearing packed with friends and family of both men, Oakland resident Mark Estrada was formally sentenced to 50 years to life in state prison for murdering Hayward police Sgt. Scott Lunger in 2015.
Lunger’s girlfriend and daughters told Judge Don C. Clay how much they missed their loved one during key life events, like college graduations, and how he won’t be with them in the future. Detective Justin Green, Lunger’s partner the night he was killed, described Lunger as a leader in the department and a role model for younger officers.Estrada’s mother told the court she didn’t think her son was a cold-blooded killer and insisted Lunger was trying to intimidate her son.
