BAKERSFIELD, CA (KUZZ) — A 35-year-old man will spend 25 years to life in prison for killing his ex’s new boyfriend.
Christopher Tovar was sentenced Thursday after shooting Rudy Herrera, 36, in the front yard of a house in the 300 block of Panama Street in October 2024.
Tovar and his friend Lacey Guerra, 41, drove to the house together to confront Herrera.
Guerra pleaded no contest last year to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 11 years in prison.
