LOS ANGELES : Man Gets Life for Killing of Armored Car Guard
A 27-year-old man was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole for murdering an armored car guard during a hardware store robbery.
A Superior Court jury recommended the life term for Sean Darnell Slade, and Judge Ronald S. Coen imposed it. The guard, Edwin Maldonado, was shot to death July 29, 1992, at a Home Depot in San Fernando. Slade, convicted of manslaughter in a 1987 shooting, had been on parole for 25 days at the time of Maldonado’s killing.
Deputy Dist. Atty. Jeff Jonas said several accomplices remain at large.
