In a distressing case from Hayward, Bryan Hernandez was found guilty of first-degree murder in the 2022 shooting of Gustavo Tavera outside a liquor store. His co-defendant, Juan Vera, was acquitted of murder charges but convicted of attempted voluntary manslaughter. The incident began over a dispute at the liquor store, escalating when Vera shot Tavera, followed by Hernandez executing Tavera on the ground. The contrasting outcomes for the two men underscore the complexities of the case and the varying levels of culpability assigned by the jury.
"Hernandez was convicted of first-degree murder, facing a life sentence, while co-defendant Vera was acquitted of murder and convicted of attempted voluntary manslaughter."
"The horrific nature of Tavera's murder involved two men, one who shot first but didn't kill, and the other who executed him afterward."
