From Times Staff and Wire Reports

A former country music disc jockey was sentenced Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder of a man in 2003.

Alan Lama conspired with Cathleen Quinn, a Victorville woman he met in an Internet chat room, to kill Quinn’s husband, James Quinn.

In January 2003, Lama waited for the couple off a dark street in Rancho Cucamonga, and when Cathleen Quinn stopped her vehicle, Lama stabbed James Quinn, then strangled him.
