Kenneth Mejia Gets 40 Years for Family Tragedy | Sacramento News

A San Joaquin judge just sentenced Kenneth Mejia to 40 years to life plus 9 more years after he was found guilty of second-degree murder and attempted murder. The horrific incident in November 2024 began when Mejia swerved his car at his own nieces and nephews — just to mess with them — then pulled out a gun and shot their father to death when he intervened. He also fired at another vehicle, luckily without hitting anyone. The DA called it a betrayal of family, and the sentence is meant to deliver justice for the victims and their loved ones. This case is a chilling reminder of how violence spirals out of control — and the lasting scars it leaves on everyone involved.
