A South San Francisco man who pleaded no contest to felony charges related to a shooting incident in May 2016 was sentenced to three years supervised probation and seven months in county jail Monday, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
Martin Dominguez, 21, admitted to firing a handgun in the direction of a car with three teens in it close to midnight on May 2, 2016. The victims said they were sitting in a car when Dominguez approached them asking if they were driving around the area earlier, according to prosecutors.
Thinking his actions were strange, the teens, who said they didn’t know Dominguez, allegedly told him they hadn’t been driving around earlier and drove away from him. He fired his gun at the car multiple times as they drove away, but none of the teens were injured, according to prosecutors.
Police arrived after Dominguez’s father reported an incident of gunshots. Though he initially claimed someone was shooting at him, Dominguez later admitted he fired the gun toward the car as it was driving away, according to prosecutors.
Dominguez will receive eight days of credit for time served and will report for his jail sentence Nov. 4, according to prosecutors.
