A man and woman pleaded guilty to murder and attempted murder charges this week stemming from a 2018 South Bay crime spree.
SAN DIEGO - A man and woman pleaded guilty to murder and attempted murder charges this week stemming from a 2018 South Bay crime spree that left one man dead and a woman paralyzed after she was shot multiple times.
Alvarado is expected to be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, while Canal is set to be sentenced to 30 years to life in prison, according to Deputy District Attorney David Grapilon.A third defendant, Michael Pedraza, 32, remains charged with murder, attempted murder and other crimes, while another co-defendant, 33-year-old Francisco Aranda, pleaded guilty to other charges and was sentenced earlier this year to five years in state prison.
A woman who was in the backseat of Canal's vehicle during Serhan's murder was taken to Sunset Cliffs at about 2 a.m. on April 12, accused of being a"snitch," then allegedly shot three times by Pedraza. The woman, who prosecutors said had been robbed and kidnapped by the defendants earlier that week, was shot in the head and hip, with a third bullet going through her neck and striking her spinal cord, paralyzing her.
