POMONA -- A man was sentenced to 60 years to life in prison this month for the shooting death of a local woman last year.
Joseph Sanchez, 39, of El Monte was convicted of murder and immediately sentenced on April 1 in Pomona Superior Court, court officials said.
He fatally shot Elaine Garza, 41, in a parking lot in the 12000 block of Valley Boulevard, authorities said.
