A 24-year-old Concord man pleaded no contest to robbery and voluntary manslaughter for his role in the 2019 murder of Mohammad Othman, a 17-year-old Carlmont High School student from Redwood City, San Mateo County Chief Deputy District Attorney Shin-Mee Chang said.
Antonio Marcos Valencia will face 11 years in state prison for the crime, Chang said. His plea follows the plea of 24-year-old Indiana man Ruben Gonzales-Magallanes, who received a 16-year state prison sentence for Othman’s killing, to be served consecutively with a sentence for a separate crime in Indiana.
Two others beside Valencia and Gonzales-Magallanes also accused of participating in the San Mateo County crime, which allegedly occurred after plans to rob Othman and others at Central Elementary School in Belmont Jan. 7, 2019, after the four set up a ruse meeting to sell marijuana.
