Three people have been sentenced in connection with the murder of an 81-year-old man in Lakewood in 2021.
Ricardo Perez, 37, Jay Griffith, 22, and Savannah Wilson, 26, were all arrested in 2021 for their roles in the crime and were convicted and sentenced this month.
Around June, tension began growing between Gail Wilson and Perez over rent, bills, chores and Perez's frequent use of Wilson's pickup truck, according to the district attorney's office. Savannah Wilson and Griffith testified that Perez ordered them to dispose of the body, which they did, according to the district attorney's office. According to this testimony, the trio wrapped the body in black roofing plastic and loaded it into Gail Wilson's red Ford F-150. They also loaded a large piece of carpet, the bat and items used to clean the scene, according to the district attorney's office.
A jury convicted Perez of first-degree murder on July 14. He was sentenced to life in prison, plus 12 years, on the following four counts: first-degree murder, tampering with a deceased human body, attempt to influence, and tampering with physical evidence.
