Two men were sentenced to life in prison Friday for the murder of a 3-year-old boy caught in the crossfire of a gang shooting in Compton.
The evening of Jan. 20, 2018, Franklin Pon-Ros was in the backseat of his mother’s car, waiting in the parking lot of Nate’s Liquor on Alondra Boulevard while his mother’s boyfriend made a purchase inside.
On his way back to the car, the boyfriend, Kevaughn Harris, exchanged words with Dwayne Ward, who was sitting in a nearby car. Rival gang members, the two pulled out handguns and started shooting at each other, L.A. County Sheriff’s Department officials said at the time.
