Oscar Josue Arevalo-Baquiax was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole for fatally stabbing Rigoberto Perez Sr. and his son during a house party in Hayward. The incident escalated from a dispute between Arevalo-Baquiax and Perez Jr. after a private encounter with a woman. Although Arevalo-Baquiax's defense cited his young age, intoxication, and the stress of the situation, the court held him accountable for the double murder, given the impulsive nature and tragic outcomes of his actions.
"Arevalo-Baquiax's conviction stems from a violent altercation that erupted at a party, leading to the tragic deaths of both Rigoberto Perez Sr. and Jr."},
"His defense argued for leniency due to his young age and intoxication, stating he was in a stressful state, yet the crime’s brutality overshadowed these claims."}],
