Jesus Tejeda, 37, received a 38-year prison sentence for a series of violent crimes including a fatal shooting and a gang-related attack. His crime spree spanned three years, starting with the 2021 shooting of Christopher Conner in Salinas, resulting in the victim's death. Tejeda later committed an assault with a cinderblock and was involved in a coordinated inmate attack while in jail. His criminal activities not only showcased gang-related violence but also highlighted the challenges in prosecuting cases where witnesses refuse to cooperate.
“Jesus Tejeda's violent actions over three years have led to a significant prison term that underscores the severity of gang-related crimes and their community impact.”
“Tejeda's conviction for voluntary manslaughter, attempted murder, and gang assault reflects the judicial system's firm response to escalating violence in our neighborhoods.”
