Judge Hayden Zacky pronounced sentence against Arsellers (CQ) Curtis Scott, 39, said Deputy District Attorney Ryan Williams.
A jury in June found Scott guilty of the first-degree murder of Angel Martinez on March 11, 2008. Scott also was convicted of felony vandalism and dissuading a witness in a separate case that was combined with the murder case for trial.
Williams said Scott wanted to make a point to his step-daughter that he was someone not to be messed with. So he took his crossbow and randomly attacked 62-year-old Martinez, who had gone for a late-night walk because he was having trouble sleeping. Martinez was found dead with an arrow in his chest in the middle of 13th Street East and Avenue K in Lancaster.
The case remained unsolved for several months until Sheriff’s detectives determined that Scott, who was later arrested on robbery and assault charges, was the suspect in the Martinez murder
