"OAKLAND - A man has been sentenced to 21 years in prison for killing an Oakland father in front of the victim's son, who came into court years later and testified about witnessing the shooting. Luis Estrada, 37, pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter in the June 2021 killing of 44-year-old Cesar Parrilla. As part of a plea deal, Alameda County prosecutors dropped a murder charge and Estrada was sentenced to 21 years."
"In 2023, Parilla's then-10-year-old son took the witness stand and came face-to-face with his father's killer, identifying Estrada as the man who killed his dad after pulling up in a vehicle and verifying Cesar's name. Parilla was shot and killed on June 21, 2021 on the 400 block of Capistrano Drive in Oakland's Sobrante Park neighborhood, court records show. "He shot my dad," Parrilla's son testified at the preliminary hearing,"
