US EditionMan Gets 358 Years for Killing Teen in Long Beach Walking Home From Work
LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA, JUL 31 – Troy Lamar Fox was convicted of premeditated murder and four counts of attempted murder despite no known motive, with his sentence reflecting the severity of his crimes, prosecutors said.
- Thursday’s hearing in Long Beach Superior Court saw Fox receive a sentence of 358 years to life for the murder of Briana Soto and attempted murder of four others.
- At about 8:22 p.m., Soto was shot near 11th Street and Lewis Avenue after leaving her job at McDonald’s, with motive remains unknown.
- Using DNA, video and cellphone evidence, authorities linked Fox to the crimes, with conviction hinging on that evidence, Los Angeles County DA’s office said.
- Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said, 'Today's sentence ensures the person who stole her future will never be free to harm another innocent person.'
- The case underscores Troy Lamar Fox's history, as he had a warrant for violating his weapons conviction-related conditional release and served time for prior felonies.
