Pedro Gallegos-Garcia, was extradited from Mexico last week after he was arrested in connection with a deadly shooting at a quinceañara in Costa Mesa in 2006.
A man was arrested nearly two decades after a deadly shooting at a quinceañara in Costa Mesa last week. The suspect, Pedro Gallegos-Garcia, 46, was arrested in Mexico and extradited on Thursday for his role in the incident, which happened back on Feb. 11, 2006, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office. He was charged with murder with a sentencing enhancement for the use of a firearm in connection with the killing of 21-year-old Hermes Rodriguez-Raya.
According to prosecutors, Rodriguez-Raya had gotten into a fight with another man, and Gallegos-Garcia attempted to intervene, pointing a gun at the victim and firing. They say that the weapon initially failed to fire. Later, as Rodriguez-Raya ran from the scene, the suspect opened fire, shooting him in the back and killing him, prosecutors claim.
