An Oxnard man has been sentenced to more than 50 years in jail for his part in a crime spree that left one man dead. Aaron Holmes of Oxnard pleaded no contest to first-degree murder.
Prosecutors say in April of 2015, Holmes shot a man in the foot because he thought the victim was in a rival gang. A few minutes later, he was part of a group of people that robbed some teenagers in a parking lot.
Later that night, Holmes approached a man eating dinner in a pickup truck in the parking lot of an Oxnard donut shop. When Angel Diaz saw Holmes had a gun, he tried to drive away. Holmes fired, killing Diaz.
Holmes was sentenced to 54 years to life in prison.
