A duo of convicted felons in California have been charged with murder after allegedly spotting a Black man walking across the street and deciding to fatally shoot him because he was Black.
William Arnold Armendariz, 24, and Samuel Vasquez, 22, were formally charged on Monday with the November 7, 2015 murder of 51-year-old Charles Warren Neazer in Banning, California, according to a Banning Police Department press release.
On Tuesday, Patch reported that police believe the murder took place after Armendariz and Vasquez spotted Neazer crossing a street and allegedly decided to shoot him because he was Black.
Garcia and Niroula were convicted in September 2012 of murder, conspiracy and other charges stemming from the stabbing death of 74-year-old Clifford Lambert, who was attacked in the kitchen of his Palm Springs home on Dec. 5, 2008. Both men represented themselves during the trial and were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Replogle and Bustamante were convicted in January 2011 of murder and eight other felony counts, and both were also sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Riverside County Superior Court Judge David Downing, now retired, was allegedly recorded admitting he had purposefully declined to read motions from Niroula, citing concerns Niroula was HIV-positive.
