Plea bargains reached in San Bernardino shooting death
Three men who were suspected in a deadly gang shooting in San Bernardino, which was possibly sparked by the rebuff of a marijuana request, will be sentenced in January after they each recently accepted plea bargains.
Donte Lazon Mack, his brother Dorian Lavonn Mack, and Chrystopher Lamarr Young each pleaded guilty Dec. 23 in San Bernardino Superior Court to one count of assault with a firearm and a street gang enhancement in the slaying of Devin Tervelle McDavis, according to court records.
Under the terms of the plea bargain, each of the men faces seven years in state prison and one strike at a Jan. 29 sentencing hearing, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors had originally charged the 22-year-old brothers and Young, 23, with murder and street gang allegations in the Aug. 11, 2008 shooting at the Foothill Villas apartments on West Second Street in San Bernardino.
McDavis, 26, of Fontana, and two others were smoking marijuana at Nicholson Park when another man asked for some, according to prosecutors. McDavis didn't share and an argument ensued.
Witnesses later identified the defendants to police and told officers they got in a fight with McDavis at the apartments when gunshots were fired.
Police arrived about 1:47 p.m. and found McDavis with gunshot wounds to his head and torso. He was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, where he died.
