Tulsa Man Sentenced To Life In Prison
Ben Nicholas
A Tulsa man has been sentenced to life in prison without parole after being found guilty of fatally shooting a recent high school graduate at a traffic light.
The Tulsa World reports that District Judge William LaFortune sentenced 19-year-old Hao Trung Le Friday in the 2015 death of Cristal Gutierrez-Garza.
Prosecutors say Gutierrez-Garza, a 2014 Jenks High School graduate, was fatally shot by Le as she waited in her car for a traffic light to change.
Authorities believe Le's intended target was her passenger, Gutierrez-Garza's boyfriend.
A jury convicted Le in October and recommended a sentence of life without parole.
