Man guilty of murder in ’05 freeway shooting
A 29-year-old Los Angeles man was found guilty Tuesday of first-degree murder for his part in the March 2005 freeway shooting death of a Long Beach college student.
Prosecutors said D’andre Keyshaun Moorer was driving when an accomplice shot Michael Livingston in the head as he drove north on the Harbor Freeway. Livingston lost control of his 1998 Chevrolet Camaro and crashed into the center divider.
Moorer is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 21. He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The suspected gunman, Donald Ray Shorts, 27, is awaiting trial on similar charges.
Livingston, a student at West Los Angeles College, was on his way to a friend’s house when he was shot near the Manchester Avenue offramp. He would have turned 21 less than a month later.
Authorities initially had trouble finding witnesses, and Livingston’s family held several news conferences urging people to come forward with information.
Moorer was arrested in July 2005. Shorts, who was in a San Bernardino County jail in an unrelated case, was charged with Livingston’s murder one month later. Police said Moorer and Shorts were gang members.
