Teen Pleads Guilty to Killing Four | Los Angeles News
Description
A 19-year-old man pleaded guilty to murdering four people in their Lancaster home in a brutal act of revenge, now facing four life sentences with no parole. The victims—Christine Aca-ac, Janvi Maquindang, Edwin Garcia, and Matthew Montebello—were shot while sleeping, then set ablaze to cover his tracks. He also confessed to killing three dogs in a fire, plus burglary, arson, attempted murder, and child abuse. A 16-year-old girl escaped unharmed. The DA accepted a plea deal to avoid the death penalty, noting the attempted murder victim had broken up with him but wasn’t home that night. Sandoval was arrested five days after the killings and his sentencing is set for November 17.
