55-years-to-life sentence for gunman in fatal shooting outside La Mesa motel [Breaking]
Lorenzo Bogus, 26, was convicted by an El Cajon jury of second-degree murder and a firearm-use allegation in the Sept. 10, 2021, shooting at the Heritage Inn on Fletcher Parkway.
La Mesa police responded just after 9:30 p.m. and found the victim, a 32-year-old motel guest, unresponsive with gunshot wounds to his chest, neck, and head.Police said several witnesses provided a description of the suspect, leading to Bogus’ arrest a short time later. A motive for the shooting was not disclosed and Deputy District Attorney Shane Waller said no motive was presented during Bogus’ trial.
The prosecutor said a prior strike conviction caused Bogus’ 15-year-to-life second-degree murder sentence to be doubled. He was sentenced to an additional 25-year-to-life term for using a firearm in the killing.
