City News ServiceA Lancaster man was convicted for the horrific slayings of his four young children and his mother-in-law in 2021.A Lancaster man convicted of the shooting deaths of his four young children and their grandmother as she was babysitting them was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole.of five counts of first-degree murder for the Nov. 28, 2021, killings of his 11-year-old daughter, Namiyah, and his three sons, Germarcus Jr.
Speaking directly to David, the children's mother asked him, "Do you see their faces when you close your eyes? ... Does it keep you up and haunt you all night and day?" Deputy District Attorney Vanessa Zuniga had urged jurors to convict David of the most serious charges of first-degree murder, while defense attorney Anna Brief called on the panel to find the lesser option of second-degree murder for a man whom she said did the "unimaginable."
The prosecutor said David called his estranged wife twice as he sat in the driveway after returning home early from his job as a security guard and fired 20 shots -- with each shot hitting one of his targets -- about seven minutes after he entered the family's home. The defendant tossed the gun in a desert area after driving away and then went to a Los Angeles County sheriff's station, where he asked a deputy to detain him and said, "It was a murder," Zuniga told the jury.
