"Defendant Alex Andy Bocanegra and Vernon R. were very close friends for
decades. However, one Christmas, defendant, who was married, slept with Vernon R.’s
girlfriend. The next year, Vernon R., by his account, slept with defendant’s wife, or, by
her account, forcefully tried to. In either case, by this point, the friendship between
defendant and Vernon R. was “dead.” Rather than allowing this saga to end, on the night
of January 12, 2020, defendant drove from his home in San Jose to Vernon R.’s home in
Manteca armed with three firearms including an AR-15 style rifle. Defendant broke a
front window and fired shots into the house as Vernon R. scrambled through the house
and dove out a bedroom window to get away."
That's a fairly disastrous way for a 20-year friendship to end, don't you think?
