SANTA ANA — A 40-year-old man pleaded guilty Friday and was immediately sentenced to 18 years to life in prison for fatally shooting his neighbor in Santa Ana.
Alfonso Jassogarcia pleaded guilty to second-degree murder with a sentencing enhancement for the personal use of a gun in the March 26, 2021 shooting of 45-year-old Jose Luis Solis.
The shooting happened just before 9 p.m. at 3126 W. First St. in a mobile home park, police said.
When officers arrived, they found the victim with gunshot wounds to his head and upper body, police said.
Jassogarcia and Solis had a run-in a couple of weeks before the shooting, police testified in the defendant’s preliminary hearing. The reason for the dispute was not made clear.
Jassogarcia later drove to the police department and turned himself in that night, police said.
Jassogarcia was given 1,401 days credit behind bars.
