Indio woman pleads guilty to attempted murder, gets 13-year sentence
25-year-old Priscilla Guzman of Indio has been sentenced to thirteen years in prison after pleading guilty to an attempted murder charge.
Guzman entered her guilty plea on Monday, June 3, 2024 at the Larson Justice Center in Indio.
According to court documents, Guzman's sentencing was also effected by two additional admitted enhancements regarding the use of a firearm.
Deputies responded at around 2 a.m. Sunday to a report of an assault with a deadly weapon at the motel in the 78100 block of Varner Road, according to Sgt. Daniel Milbrandt of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
"The victim sustained a single gunshot wound and was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries,'' Milbrandt said.
The victim remains unnamed.
Guzman was subsequently identified as the suspect and was arrested in the 84100 block of Avenue 48 in Indio, according to Milbrandt. Deputies served search warrants and allegedly found evidence that implicated her.
She was booked into the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning on a $1 million bail.
No further information was immediately available, including the alleged motive or the relationship between the suspect and victim.
