Parole denied for Denair killer
A Denair man has again been denied parole for a 1991 murder because of a high-risk assessment.
Andrew Rick Lopez, of Denair, was found unsuitable for parole during an April 2, hearing of the State Board of Parole Hearings held at Pelican Bay Prison in Crescent City, California. Deputy District Attorney Monroe Tyler appeared at the hearing on behalf of the People.
On June 26, 1991, Lopez approached James Turnbough from behind and stabbed him 13 times in the back, stomach and chest after an earlier argument. Lopez later bragged about the conduct to one of the witnesses in the case. At the time, Lopez had just been released from prison and was wanted for absconding from parole supervision.
