"REDWOOD CITY A 30-year-old Daly City man was convicted of first-degree murder Wednesday for fatally shooting his ex-girlfriend in front of their two children in 2023, prosecutors said. Romier Taguiam Narag was also found guilty of one count each of felony and misdemeanor child endangerment, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office. Two of the charges had firearm enhancements. The jury came to its decision after a 15-day trial overseen by San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey R. Finigan."
"We're glad that justice has been done here, San Mateo County District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe said. A first-degree murder conviction with the use of a gun will guarantee that Mr. Narag is locked up for a very long time. Wagstaffe added that the child endangerment charges stem from threats he made to the children, including brandishing his weapon at them. That could potentially add time to his sentence."
"On March 6, 2023, Narag and his ex-girlfriend, Frances Lucero, 27, went out to dinner with their three- and four-year-old children, prosecutors said. The pair took separate cars back to Lucero's residence on Eastgate Drive. When they exited their vehicles, Narag pulled out a Glock handgun, prosecutors said. Lucero attempted to flee from Narag, running from the driveway to the residence's steps, when Narag shot her multiple times in the torso and leg as the children stood nearby."
Romier Taguiam Narag, 30, was convicted of first-degree murder for fatally shooting his ex-girlfriend, Frances Lucero, as their three- and four-year-old children stood nearby. Jurors also convicted Narag of one felony and one misdemeanor child endangerment count, with two charges carrying firearm enhancements. The shooting occurred March 6, 2023, after a dinner; Narag pulled a Glock and shot Lucero multiple times on the residence steps while the children were present. Investigators recovered the gun under a nearby vehicle and neighborhood security cameras captured the incident. The convictions could produce a lengthy prison term, potentially increased by the child endangerment findings.
