## Resource

An 18-year-old, Demarcus Jaime Vega, received a 25-to-life prison sentence for fatally shooting food vendor Lorenzo Perez in 2021 — a crime that shattered a family and community. Vega, who was a minor at the time, will be eligible for a parole hearing after serving his minimum time. Perez, 45, was gunned down while pushing his cart; Vega allegedly pretended to order, then pulled a weapon, stole from Perez’s pockets, and fled. Perez’s son described the loss as irreplaceable — Vega didn’t just take a life, but a future. The district attorney confirmed the sentence, underscoring the gravity of the crime and its lasting impact. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
