Jurors on Thursday convicted two men of murder and attempted murder for carrying out a drive-by shooting in West Long Beach that killed a 69-year-old grandfather and injured another man.
Prosecutors said Terrel Warren, 28, and Rhyan Burrell, 25, were “prowling” for Hispanic people to shoot near Cabrillo High School on Oct. 9, 2018, after one of their relatives was “accosted” on campus earlier in the day by a group of Hispanic students.
The two of them drove around the area of Canal Street and Summit Avenue for a while before Warren, from the passenger’s side, unloaded several shots at a car driving by, according to prosecutors. Meanwhile, from the driver’s side, Burrell shot at Jose Corrales — who had no connection to the situation — and his grandchildren.
Warren’s shots managed to hit the passenger of the car driving by, according to prosecutors, who said the man survived his injuries. Corrales, who was hit by a single bullet in his lower torso area, died at the scene.
