One of four members of a Vietnamese criminal street gang was sentenced Friday for the 1995, execution-style murder of a fellow gang associate.
Anthony Johnson Jr., 36, of Westminster, was sentenced to life in state prison without the possibility of parole.
His three co-defendants, Giang Thuy Nguyen, Tam Hung Nguyen and Truc Ngoc Tran, are scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 21.
Each was found guilty in April of one felony count of murder and one felony count of conspiracy to commit murder.
Johnson received a sentencing enhancement for murder by lying in wait, committing a crime for the benefit of a criminal street gang, and murder to avoid arrest. The others faced similar sentencing enhancements.
