STOCKTON, Calif. — The suspect in the killing of a Stockton man outside a bank fired at the victim six times, the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office said.
According to the district attorney's office, Laonard Alexander, 45 of Stockton, was found guilty of first-degree murder in connection to the shooting of Tyrique Harris outside Golden 1 Credit Union on Pacific Avenue.
Officials said the shooting happened Aug. 11, 2022. Harris was found with multiple gunshot wounds to the head and face and died at the scene.
Video surveillance from the bank showed that Harris and Alexander had a quick fight in the parking lot before the shooting happened, according to the district attorney's office. Afterward, while Harris went to the side of the bank, Alexander finished a transaction in the bank and drove away.
However, officials said Alexander came back, driving past Harris twice and parking behind the bank. Officials said he then came up to Harris from behind and shot him six times in broad daylight.
Alexander will be sentenced on Oct. 21 and faces up to 50 years to life in prison.
"This senseless act of violence has no place in our community. Thanks to the dedicated work of the Stockton Police Department, our office, the outstanding prosecution by DDA Kathy Murray, and the careful oversight of Judge Orcutt, justice has been served for Tyrique Harris and his family," said San Joaquin County District Attorney Ron Freitas.
