A Vancouver man serving 55 years in prison for fatally shooting a rival gang member in 2007 had his sentenced reduced Thursday, due to changes in the law concerning his youth at the time of the crime.
Clark County Superior Court Judge Suzan Clark resentenced Orlin Campos-Cerna to 32 years in prison. She cited the fact that Campos-Cerna was 17 years old when he shot at Jose Avila and Anthony Tirado.
Avila, 34, died from a gunshot wound to the head. Tirado, then 24, was not injured.
