Worthless Santa Ana gang banger gets life in prison after killing an innocent student

Ricardo Ray Alcala, a disgusting Santa Ana gang banger who shot and killed Edgar Sura, a 20-year-old Santa Ana phlebotomy student, on Oct. 19, 2012, laughed as his victim begged for his life – and now the cholo has paid the price as he has been sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole, according to the O.C. Register.

Alcala’s fellow gang bangers and co-defendants, Isaac Angel Martinez, 27, and Jeamy Beatriz Melendez, 25, also accepted plea deals Friday and they were sentenced to 26- and six-year prison terms.

Alcala is such a pig that he returned to the scene of the shooting after a makeshift memorial was set up in Sura’s memory.

Sura’s family was devastated by his senseless murder.  His sister Gabriela said that “her brother liked to walk home from work because he could donate cash to homeless people along the way, and she recalled how he would often stop to buy groceries for the family.”

Apparently Alcala was convicted with the help of a police informant who “helped police find the murder weapon and an undercover officer got incriminating statements from the defendant while they were together in a holding cell, according to the prosecutor.”

  • I hope it was that stupid b*tch Jamie that got 26 years that f*cken cow deserves it for thinking she's a bad ass gang banger!

  • No our tax dollars inatead go to the prision industry , this worthless gangbanger is worth more to the system locked up than dead, sadly our simple minds won't allow us to see the big picture, this worthless gangmember will later become an effective recruiting tool for the gangs and with more gangsters they can now justify the exuberant salary that our chief of police recieves , and more gang unit officers , or school police, our entire justice system is depending on that, how is it that law enforcment will raid a place that sells medicine but they wont raid pfizer or the other big corporations making medicine even though we have one death every three days from prescription drugs overdose in our county alone, most of us never even consider the bigger picture.

  • Part of the bigger picture , if this worthless gangbanger was the son of some politician he would have had his sentence reduced, lucky for us he is not.

  • I think that picture is of the teacher who got sentenced for having sex with h.s. students. Great editing....
