Jury finds SB man guilty in 2006 slaying

A jury on Monday convicted a San Bernardino man in a 2006 deadly shooting that stemmed from a dispute at El Patio Night Club in Rialto.

Andres Landeros Garcia, 23, was found guilty of murdering 24-year-old Rosa Trigo and the attempted murder of a man who was driving with her April 17, 2006, San Bernardino police said.

He was also found guilty of assault with a firearm on another passenger in the vehicle.

Trigo was wounded in the 1800 block of West 5th Street when several men inside a Hummer H2 pulled alongside the vehicle she was riding in and opened fire. She died minutes later.

Trigo and the man driving her were at the El Patio Night Club in the 300 block of East Foothill Boulevard in Rialto when a dispute arose between them and several men. Trigo and her companion left the club and were followed by several men in the Hummer.
