A 45-year-old Stockton man was found guilty of first-degree murder in the slaying of a young man outside Golden 1 Credit Union on Pacific Avenue in August 2022.
The San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office announced on Wednesday that a jury found Laonard Allen Alexander responsible for the death of Tyrique Harris, 23.
Additionally, Alexander was convicted of a firearm enhancement, which significantly increases his potential sentence, according to the district attorney’s office.
“This senseless act of violence has no place in our community,” District Attorney Ron Freitas said . “Thanks to the dedicated work of the Stockton Police Department, our office, the outstanding prosecution by DDA Kathy Murray, and the careful oversight of Judge Orcutt, justice has been served for Tyrique Harris and his family.”
