POMONA (CNS) - A convicted murderer whose death sentence was overturned was re-sentenced today to life in prison without the possibility of parole for killing two of his former co-workers after he didn t get the promotion he wanted.
Sergio Dejuan Nelson, now 46, was convicted of the Oct. 22, 1993, shooting deaths of Robin Shirley, a 32-year-old mother of two young children, and Lee Thompson, 22. They were gunned down while sitting in a car outside the Target store in La Verne where they worked.
Nelson who had resigned from his job about 1 1/2 months earlier gunned down Shirley because she got the promotion he felt he deserved and killed Thompson because she had defended Shirley when he harassed her about the promotion, according to an August 2016 ruling from the California Supreme Court.
