Life Sentence for Carjacking Murder | Los Angeles News

Twenty-four-year-old Carlos Delcid just received a life sentence without parole for the brutal murder of Officer Gardiel Solorio, who was killed off-duty in an August 2022 carjacking attempt at an L.A. Fitness parking lot in Downey. Delcid opened fire as the officer tried to flee, striking him multiple times. The jury convicted him of first-degree murder, shooting at an occupied vehicle, robbery, and being a felon in possession of a firearm — with the special circumstance of attempted carjacking leading to the life sentence. His two accomplices also faced severe consequences: Gerardo Magallanes got over 24 years for voluntary manslaughter, while the juvenile, tried as an adult, received an 11-year sentence. Prosecutors emphasized that while no sentence can undo the loss, this verdict brings justice and closure to Officer Solorio’s family — underscoring the risks law enforcement faces even when off duty and the system’s commitment to holding violent offenders accountable.
