LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The California Supreme Court refused today to hear the case of a transient who was convicted of the bludgeoning deaths of an elderly couple during a burglary at their secluded hilltop home in an unincorporated area near La Verne the day after Christmas in 2014.
Luke Matthew Fabela, now 29, is serving life in prison without the possibility of parole for the Dec. 26, 2014, killings of 89-year-old Armie “Troy Isom and his 75-year-old wife, Shirley.
Fabela was convicted in May 2019 of first-degree murder and residential burglary, along with an unrelated residential burglary less than three weeks later. Jurors also found true the special circumstance allegation of multiple murders and murder during the commission of a burglary.
