SAN BERNARDINO - A Redlands gang member accused of killing of two men and wounding a baby, in what prosecutors have described as witness retaliation, is set to begin trial Monday in his capital case.
Lawyers in the case of Mathew Ruben Manzano will deliver their opening remarks before the jury at 9:30 a.m. in San Bernardino Superior Court, confirmed Deputy District Attorney Michael McDowell.
Prosecutors say Manzano targeted and killed Raymond Holguin Jr., in March 2005 at a Mentone residence after Holguin identified him in a carjacking case at a Redlands liquor store four years earlier.
Also killed at the home with Holguin was Fernando Anthony Gurule. If Manzano is convicted, prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty.
Lawyers on each side declined to comment Friday but said they were ready for the trial to get under way.
Redlands police say Gurule, 45, was working on a car on April 28, 2005, outside a Turquoise Avenue home when a gunman arrived and forced him into the living room.
Once inside, the gunman shot Gurule and then turned the gun on the 22-year-old Holguin, who was on a couch with his infant son on his chest, Detective Mark Hardy testified in January 2007 at a hearing.
The baby survived the gunfire with wounds to his feet. A dozen bullet casings at the scene from two different weapons.
Manzano is being represented by Rasheed Alexander and Celia Torres of the Public Defender's Homicide Defense
