Prison terms given in teen’s fatal stabbing

The final three men convicted in the stabbing death of an Oceanside teenager were sentenced to prison Wednesday.

Vista Superior Court Judge Carlos Armour followed the agreed upon sentence when giving Jose Zamora and Roberto Medina, both 19, terms of 16 years each.

Omar Garcia, 19, also faced up to 16 years but was sentenced to 11.

All three had pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and gang allegations, said Deputy District Attorney Cal Logan.

Five men in all were charged in the fatal stabbing of 16-year-old Javier Luna. Authorities said the attack happened Jan. 29, 2013, at Center Avenue and Division Street in Oceanside’s Crown Heights area, in retaliation for graffiti left in a rival gang neighborhood.

Javier’s family said he was not in a gang, although a witness testified he was.

Earlier this month, Juan Zurita, 19, who was seen by the witness holding a bloody knife, was sentenced to 22 years in prison, while Francisco Barajas, 22, got 21 years.
