Damien Guerrero to be sentenced Friday
A Highland man who pleaded guilty, under the terms of a plea bargain, to the bizarre slaying of Redlands college student Kelly Bullwinkle in 2003 is scheduled to be sentenced Friday morning.
Damien Guerrero, 23, faces 15 years to life in state prison when he is sentenced in San Bernardino Superior Court.
Guerrero pleaded guilty July 25 to one count of second-degree murder and a sentence enhancement of using a firearm in the crime as part of a plea bargain.
In March 2005, a jury deadlocked on a first-degree murder charge for Guerrero. The final vote was 11-1 for a guilty verdict.
Prosecutors and police contend Guerrero and and co-defendant Kinzie Noordman lured the 18-year-old Bullwinkle to a remote area of San Timoteo Canyon and took turns shooting her.
The pair told police the killing was the result of a joke turned deadly when the gun Guerrero pulled on Bullwinkle fired accidentally.
Noordman, of Redlands, was convicted of first-degree murder in March 2005, and sentenced to 45 years in prison two months later.



It's very simple: Guerrero and Noordman are sub-human garbage. Society is far better off withh these two murderers incarcerated. Guerrero needs to do life.
IV KNOWN AND SPENT TIME WITH BOTH OF THESE PEOPLE AND THOUGH THEY MESSED UP IN THIS LIFE AND TOOK THE LIFE OF ANOTHER I KNOW THEY MOURN HER GREATLY AND REGRET WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, IT IS NO ONES PACE TO CALL THEM GARBAGE AND SURELY UP TO GOD WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM,THEY WERE AND ARE GREAT FRIENDS TO ME AND ALWAYS WILL BE
The holdout juror preventing Guerrero from a life sentence was Hispanic.....think about that.
People are so quick to judge. Everyone makes mistakes, some greater than others and I do believe that they should be "punished", but their mistakes should not give society the permission to call them garbage or anything else that may be demeaning. I know Damien and he is a great person, who unfortunately committed a big mistake. He is doing everything he can to become a better person. I will stand by him no matter what. You wont know how it feels until your son, daughter, cousin, lover or friend are incarcerated. Who's side would you be on in that case?
I also knew both of them - Damien and Kinsey. Let me tell you something...."mistakes" such as that may be forgiven by God but they knew exactly what they were doing - ahead of time. So don't tell me they are "great" people. If that's what you really think then perhaps you should seek counseling, because you're delusional.
I know Damien very well and I know for a fact that he wishes every moment of every day that the things that happend never happend. Damien is a good person who made a very big mistake and regrets what happend. And as for calling Damien "garbage", i think that Damien is a very honorable man. And if you dont like it..... well tough luck he IS more honorable than you because HE would NEVER say ANYTHING about you that he wouldnt say to your face!!!!
So let me get this straight Mike . . . Damien would never talk behind your back, but he would shoot you in the back of the head???
And you call that honorable?
Whats wrong with your head?
BTW I am sure he regrets the murder cause his ass is in prison.
Anonymous (whoever you are), you're a piece of sh*t. "People are quick to judge?" Those two animals murdered Kelly and then went to the MOVIES!.
It sounds like you have a slew of family members incarcerated... I wouldn't be shocked if you were typing from some prison.
MIKE..... The animal named Damien wouldn't say anything to 'your' face.. He would point a gun at your face. You idiot!
you know i can understand a lot of the animosity but lets keep it real...... WHO actually fired the shot that killed Kelly? Can ANYONE answer that? As for my family No i dont have a slew in prison nor am I typing this from a prison cell actually Im in lake elsinore..... now as for damien pointing a gun at my head.... well i guess that depends on what i did to him just as it would depend on what you did to me for me to point one at you. Look do you hate the lion because he kills ? damien made a grave mistake and is paying for it you dont know what happend so dont judge.......
IF this was supposed to be some gothic joke , then why was the gun loaded ??
Just look at and into the eyes of those two ( their mug shots ) : distant , soulless and commercialised ...
Truly sad .
At least this 'liberal' , 'progressive' judicial system will see to it that these two will enjoy a cush stay in prison .
I spent time w/ both of them too. Kelly as well. Blew my whole family away when Kelly died & even more when Damien & Kinsey were arrested. Anyone know which prisons they're in?
can't wait to meet him ;)
I love how it is people that knew them that are defending them, well if it were them that got shot you people "defending" them would not be on the side of the killer so come on. Shut up and stop defending someone who was capable of murder.
If someone shot you im pretty sure your family and friends would want your killer to pay for what they did and would NOT forgive them. Be realistic dumbasses. There are a lot of people who have killed someone and regret it. They dont regret that they killed them they regret that they got caught. Cowards run from what theyve done and thats exactly what they did, they ran.
I don't know how many times I've been deleting the stuff I was going to try to put up here, because all of you that are defending him and calling him honorable and he's a good person need to really shut the fuck up and honestly THINK about what you are saying about someone who MURDERED another human being.
I don't care how "honorable" or how much of a "good person" you think he is, he might have been until he pulled the trigger. How can any honorable or good person do that? Unless if you're a cop or something where it's needed.
I also don't understand how you can keep giving him so much good credit and you don't say ONE thing about Kelly and her family or friends and how much THEY hurt. They're the people that have lost something. The people who SHOULD be upset. The ones who SHOULD be wishing that day never happened because they lost a family member or friend, not because they're sitting in jail or they've just realized that it was a "dumb joke that went wrong."
You guys are seriously a fucking joke.
I know none of the people that this happened to or any of you, I'm not quick to judge, but I am quick to KNOW when someone is a horrible person to even think about "playing a joke" on someone with a real fucking gun, shovels, new clothes, a dug up grave... Yeah, a REAL joke.
Tell me you wouldn't feel the same if one of your friends who seemed to be a really good person killed another one of your family members or really close friends. Honestly, tell me that.
Let me just end by saying I'm GLAD he got caught and there is not a single cell in my body that feels any remorse for him. && I hope that Kelly's family and friends get some kind of respect shown towards them like the "respect" you're showing towards a killer.
"The pair told police the killing was the result of a joke turned deadly when the gun Guerrero pulled on Bullwinkle fired accidentally."
One shot maybe an accident imo the second becomes a purpose. A joke would be a gun without bullets.
Two privileged people, did they think they were the stars in a movie?
I think they are trash, b/c they chose to be, look at them going to the _____ movies after slaughtering a girl they called a "friend" and he slept with.
He committed murder that is much more then a mistake, he, they played JUDGE, jury and executioner, both of them, & yes they are less then human for executing that young woman, they are sociopaths & trash for playing with another persons life.
Lady, have you heard of sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me, unless of course they strike a nano of truth, name calling is nothing compared to what he & his admiring soul mate did.
There is nothing great about someone that commits murder, His a murder that defines him now.
He has no honor, not a chance, I would like to see murders like these two be put down instead of spending their life in jail, with money funded by taxpayers, they didn't even get a life sentence, thank your lucky stars for that.
Living( something Kelly will never have the chance to do!) in jail till his parole is hardly punishment for his crime, imo they are both sociopaths... she didn't want Kelly to suffer, so they shot her again, instead of getting her medical attention.
Trying to save her their mistake, that is what one would see as an accident or a mistake.
Are you really saying that You equate an animal's need to eat, and his animal instincts, with malice, with Man and murder?
I find that to be a warped sense of reasoning.
A young Woman was murdered & in cold blood, as some joke!
I think you may want to rethink your thought processes.
We divine worse fates to Dogs, we put them down to sleep for biting humans.
Life is not a movie nor a dress rehearsal. Kelly didn't get a chance to life thanks to these two mistakes, Damian & Tinsel.

I really want to find that last juror who held out in Damien Guerrero's hearing and ask him what his reasoning was for letting a murderer walk (at that time).
And for the moron's supporting Guerrero...WOW you guys are retarded, nothing more to say to that.
WOW, I just watched this horrible reality of the murder of this girl unfold for the first time on ID TV in 2011 and was so shocked by one juror allowing for a mistrial that it prompted me to do web research to see what is the current status for "Damian Guerrero. While doing this, I came upon this website and decided to read all these comments and I realized that it is scary that people are calling a Premeditated Murder a "MISTAKE". What planet are these people from? I can see why there is so much emotion in the responses. I don't know what is happening in the life of people that are on here defending calculated murders, all I can say is that there is no hope for them and somewhere along the line in their own life they will justify a cruel and inhumane act as a mistake. So watch out folks and pay close attention to "friends"? that find understanding in the behavior of cold and emotionally disconnected killers".
This guy named MIke that seems to feel it is justified to kill someone depending on what someone said or did to make you mad enough to point a gun, well let me just say that I hope he doesn't live around me. Or that my son's never- ever cross his path.
What a sicko. I would hate to meet his parents, what a failure they are...
COMPLETE GARBAGE!!! DAMIEN AND HER OWN ROOMMATE!!!! THEY DESERVE LIFE IN JAIL AND HELL, POST-LIFE!! anyone who kills another human being and tries to get away with it, should die in jail!!!
For the one who called Damien Honorable- an Honorable person does not kill, an Honorable person even though after he did kill would have turned himself in, never let that family not know what happened to Kelly, shown the police where that gun is, he would have been honest about why they killed her, this was no joke they meant to kill her, Damien is not a great person, a good person or an honorable person he is a killer or needs to do his time. When he gets out he will have to redeem himself and prove he can make in this world w/o killing again. You people who say all these great things about him need to wake up and realize what he did, you would be thinking different if he had killed someone in your family now wouldn't you!!
