Alexander Hernandez, now 42, withdrew his not guilty by reason of insanity plea just before the trial
LOS ANGELES — An ex-convict from Sylmar was found guilty Wednesday ofJurors deliberated less than a day before convicting Alexander Hernandez, now 42, of first-degree murder for the 2014 slayings of Sergio Sanchez on March 14; Gilardo Morales on Aug. 21; and Gloria Tovar, Michael Planells and Mariana Franco on Aug. 24, along with 11 counts of attempted murder — the bulk of which occurred between Aug. 20 and 24, 2014.
Hernandez faces life in prison without the possibility of parole, with sentencing set July 8 in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom. Deputy District Attorney Michele Hanisee told jurors in her final argument that they will probably never know why the crimes occurred. She told City News Service after the verdict that the attacks were “absolutely unprovoked.”
In most of the cases, the vehicle was Hernandez’s silver birch metallic Chevrolet Suburban, Hanisee alleged at a hearing in 2016 in which the defendant was ordered to stand trial. Tovar, 59, was shot to death while in her car in Pacoima, waiting to pick up a friend to go to church.
