A Rialto man was sentenced Friday to 87 years to life in state prison in a 2009 shooting that killed a man and wounded a teenaged boy.
Mark Rodriguez Morales, 18, was sentenced before Judge Cara. D. Hutson in Fontana Superior Court for the death of 19-year-old Josue Romero, of Bloomington, and wounding of a 16-year-old boy, according to court records.
A jury found Morales guilty of murder and attempted murder on July 26 during trial deliberations, court records indicate.
Rialto police were called to the 800 block of Grovewood Street about 12:50 a.m. on Dec. 5, 2009 and found Romero and the boy lying in the street suffering from gunshot wounds. The shooting occurred during a confrontation between Morales, who was 16 at the time, and the victims, police said.
The victims were taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, where Romero died.
