A man who gunned down a female Navy corpsman at an Oceanside apartment complex nearly four years ago was sentenced Friday to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

Prosecutors say Rideout, Arriola's downstairs neighbor and a Navy hospital corpsman stationed at Camp Pendleton, was walking her dog when Arriola shot her. After the shooting, he repeatedly claimed to bystanders that she was a trespasser.

Investigators searched the defendant's car and found the victim's last name scrawled in black permanent ink on the car's radiator tank. A list of other names and words were also written on the tank, with the final entry"R.I.P." concluding the list. Arriola was a former Marine who was discharged for desertion and later diagnosed with schizophrenia, leading to four hearings between the killing and his trial to determine whether he was mentally competent to stand trial. Three separate doctors found him competent, according to court documents.

Rideout's mother has since sued the federal government for allegedly failing to prevent Arriola from legally purchasing the murder weapon, which he bought at an Oceanside firing range about two months prior to the killing. The lawsuit alleges that with Arriola's diagnosis and his discharge from the military, a background check should have prevented him from buying the gun

Analysis: Taiwan tensions reveal challenges for U.S. navy as Chinese threat growsThe long route of Nancy Pelosi's Tuesday flight over Borneo to Taipei and a U.S. aircraft carrier's complex passage through the South China Sea highlight the difficulties U.S. forces now face against a Chinese military keen to flex its muscles over Taiwan. The United States Navy is severely outmatched when compared to the Chinese Navy. The US has been spending way too much time teaching wokeism and not enough on combat training not to mention being outclassed and numbered in equipment. Terrible lapse of judgement. .SenateGOP Of course the CCP is upset. They figured buying off corrupt democrats who were more than willing to sell out their own country would never challenge them 🤷🏻‍♀️ ThanksNancy 吾辈当自强
