Police Detective Daryle Black |
Ramon Sandoval is an inmate on death
row in the state of
California..
Crime
During a gang-related assault on a
rival's house, Sandoval killed a Long Beach police officer and
wounded another who happened to drive by. Ramon Sandoval, Jr. was convicted following a jury trial of the
premeditated murder of Long Beach Police Detective Daryle Black and the
attempted murder of his
Detective Rick Delfin |
Trial began on September 23, 2002. In his opening statement, defense counsel acknowledged that Sandoval was a gang member and that he had confessed he shot and killed Detective Black and injured Detective Delfin, adding: “The thing we are contesting was that Ramon Sandoval did not lie in wait on Lime Avenue to kill Detective Black. We think the evidence will show that was strictly a spontaneous, bizarre event that just occurred. Had those officers come by one minute earlier or one minute later, they wouldn't have been shot.”
According to Sandoval's confession, which was tape-recorded and played for the jury, he was a member of the Barrio Pobre gang and goes by the moniker “Menace.” On April 29, 2000, Sandoval and about 15 other members of the Barrio Pobre gang were drinking outside an abandoned house in Compton when a car pulled up. Someone in the car yelled “Fuck BP” and “East Side,” and began shooting at them. No one was hit, and the car drove away. Sandoval and his fellow gang members believed the shooting was committed by a rival gang named East Side Paramount.
