Description
A man who shot and wounded a San Diego police officer following a car chase in a stolen vehicle was sentenced Friday to 47 years to life in state prison.
Andrew Joseph Garcia, 22, pleaded guilty to attempted murder on a peace officer and other charges for the Dec. 12, 2022, shooting of Officer Javier Hernandez.
The officer testified during a preliminary hearing last year that while chasing Garcia on foot, he rounded the corner of a building at a Mountain View apartment complex and was shot twice in the right arm and once in his midsection, with his bulletproof vest stopping that round.
After the shooting, Garcia ran to a vacant residence about a block away and was arrested there following a standoff that lasted around nine hours.
Prosecutors allege that throughout the night, Garcia made Instagram posts connecting him to the pursuit and shooting.
