A man has been sentenced to 67 years 4 months, plus 40 years to life, plus life without the possibility of parole for a series of shootings which occurred between February and March 2005, according to Jan Scully, Sacramento County district attorney.
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Helena R. Gweon sentenced Roy Houston on Friday.
Houston was convicted by jury earlier this month for the February 2005 murder of Donald McCall and the attempted murders of Randall Hudson and Joseph McCoy. The jury also found the special circumstance of shooting from a vehicle, personal use of a firearm and gang enhancement to be true, Scully said.
The jury also convicted Houston for attempted voluntary manslaughter with the use of a firearm and the negligent discharge of a firearm in an incident that occurred in March 2005 at the Robertson Center.
In a separate March 2005 incident that occurred at Glenwood Elementary School, Houston was convicted for the attempted murder of Kenneth Bell with the use of a firearm enhancement and shooting at an occupied vehicle that occurred.
The crimes were found be for the benefit of the Del Paso Heights Bloods gang, Scully said.
