Man sentenced to 75 years to life for killing teen
A man who killed a 16-year-old boy outside the Boys & Girls Club in Coachella was sentenced on Friday to 75 years to life in prison.
Angel Anthony Esparza, 30, was convicted in March of the Dec. 3, 2009, killing of Angel Luna. He also was tried on two additional counts of murder in connection with the Dec. 19, 2009 killing of two farmworkers in Thermal, but the jury deadlocked 9-3 in favor of guilt, and Esparza will be retried on those counts.
The two cases had been filed separately, but a judge ordered them consolidated in November.
