Pico Rivera woman sentenced for brother’s killing

SANTA ANA — A Pico Rivera woman who helped recruit a killer in a feud over a family business has been sentenced to 14 years in prison.
Edelmira Corona, 34, was sentenced Tuesday. She pleaded guilty last year to manslaughter.
Corona reportedly helped Deborah Perna hire a gang member to kill Perna’s brother in 2002 so that Perna could inherit the family’s moving and storage business.
That gang member then recruited others. Authorities say they kidnapped David Montemayor and shot him in the head as he fled their car near his Orange County home.
Perna was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole.
Three men received the death penalty and a fourth was sentenced to life.
