A Paramount man who shot and killed his girlfriend as they sat in a car outside her workplace in Long Beach was sentenced to 19 years to life in state prison on Tuesday, June 11, authorities said.
Jose Luis Vidal, 49, pleaded no contest to second-degree murder in a deal with prosecutors in May, court records show.
Vidal turned himself in to Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies in Paramount hours after the 7:50 a.m. shooting on Oct. 31, 2022, of 36-year-old Adriana Silva, police said.
Vidal confronted Silva outside after she arrived for work in the 700 block of East Wardlow Road, got in the passenger side of her vehicle and shot her, police said. Officers arrived to find her outside the vehicle on the sidewalk suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest, according to a medical examiner’s report.
What sparked the attack was unclear.
