Deonte Lee Murray, 39, of Compton, Los Angeles County, California, United States was recently found guilty of 10 counts. On September 1, 2020, he shot a man, 51, in the leg with a high-powered rifle and stole the man’s black Mercedes-Benz in Compton.
On the evening of September 12, 2020, Murray shot Los Angeles County Sheriff‘s deputies Claudia Apolinar and Emmanuel Perez who were in their patrol vehicle parked outside the Metro Compton Blue Line station in Compton. Murray fled in a black Mercedes Benz sedan, the same vehicle he carjacked on September 1, 2020.
On September 15, 2020, deputies from the Special Enforcement Bureau of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department arrested Murray. Detectives located him at around 11:30 a.m. that day but he fled in a blue 2006 Toyota Solara.
While being chased by the detectives, Murray threw a .40-caliber gun from the car, which he left in the 3100 block of Carlin Avenue in Lynwood, California. It was the same gun used in shooting Apolinar and Perez.
Murray ran into an apartment and was found hiding in some bushes at around 9:30 p.m. The deputies used tear gas to flush him out and a K-9 to capture him.
On September 16, 2020, Murray was booked into the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles, California. On September 17, 2020, he was charged with one felony count each of carjacking, second-degree robbery and assault with a semi-automatic firearm.
Murray was also charged with two counts each of attempted murder of a peace officer and possession of a firearm by a felon. On September 30, 2020, he pleaded not guilty.
Murray’s bail was increased from just over $1 million to $6.15 million. Associated with multiple gangs, he has prior convictions for sales and possession of narcotics, firearm possession by a felon or addict, receiving stolen property, burglary and terrorist threats.
On September 28, 2023, Murray was found guilty of carjacking, robbery, attempted murder, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, two counts of attempted murder of a peace officer and four counts of possession of a firearm by a felon. On November 1, 2023, he was sentenced to 166 years and 8 months to life in prison.
Certain segments of the population seem to think we lock up too many people. My opinion is we need to not only lock up more, but KEEP them locked up. The history of this guy should have told officials to keep him locked up!!
