Jose Daniel Amaya, 27, has been arrested and charged with five counts of attempted murder for a gang-related shooting in MacArthur Park that injured four men and a woman. This incident involved Amaya firing into a crowd during a dispute between rival gangs. The district attorney emphasized the seriousness of gun violence, announcing the imposition of five gun sentencing enhancements, which could lead Amaya to multiple life sentences if convicted. His bail has been set at $8 million due to the severity of the crime.
Gun violence continues to be a devastating scourge in Los Angeles, and today my office has taken decisive action by filing five gun sentencing enhancements, one for each victim.
These enhancements carry an additional penalty of 25 years to life in prison. This is a clear and unequivocal message: gun violence will not be tolerated in Los Angeles County.
