February 9, 2024 - California. Jose Larin-Garcia sentenced to death
Judge Anthony Villalobos today affirmed the findings of a jury that the man responsible for the execution style murders of four people in Palm Springs in 2019 should be sentenced to death.
Jose Larin-Garcia, now 24, killed Carlos Campos-Rivera, 25; Yuliana Garcia (no relation), 17; Jacob Montgomery, 19; and Juan Duarte-Raya, 18; on Feb. 3, 2019. Just over four years later, on Feb. 24, 2023, the jury recommended the death penalty for Larin Garcia.
Prosecutors presented evidence during 2 trials that Larin-Garcia had ridden with the three in the car to the home of Campos Rivera, who had arranged to purchase pills from one of the passengers.
California has not executed a person since 2006, while 665 people were on death row in the state last year.
