David Del Toro Returns to Court May 6
The former Los Angeles Fire Department captain was found guilty of second-degree murder in the killing of a San Gabriel woman in 2006.
David Del Toro is scheduled to return to court May 6 for motions and sentencing, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has confirmed.
The former fire department captain was March 17 in the death of Jennifer Flores, a 42-year-old San Gabriel woman. Flores' body was found two blocks from Del Toro's Eagle Rock home on Aug. 16, 2006, and a trail of Flores’ blood and DNA led detectives to the then-fire captain's residence.
The jury chose to convict Del Toro of either manslaughter, a lesser charge, or first-degree murder, a more serious charge, in its verdict. Del Toro faces 15 years to life.
