"An Orange County Superior Court jury found Andre Andrews, 40, and Omar Miller, 46, guilty of first-degree murder for the killing of 20-year-old Raymond Alcala, who was shot to death on Oct. 26, 2019, inside a home on Bayleaf Lane in a gated community in the Northwood neighborhood. Because the jurors determined the two men carried out the killing during a robbery, the defendants face up to life in prison without the possibility of parole."
"Dramatic video shows Miller and Andrews, both armed with handguns, entering the house through a side door in the early morning hours and immediately attacking a sleeping man. He screamed and fought back but was subdued and bound with duct tape. A short time later, the video shows the man escaping his bindings and running for help he manages to escape. Two gunshots ring out upstairs, at least one hitting Alacla, who would die."
"Miller and Andrews fled. DNA, neighborhood security footage of a vehicle the suspects rented, and cellphone-location data ultimately tied Andrews and Miller to the scene. Based on the weapons they were seen holding and ballistics evidence from the shooting scene, prosecutors said that Miller fired the fatal gunshots. But both men were charged with Alcala's death. A third man living at the home testified that it wasn't a drug house, saying the three men met customers online and sent product through the mail."
