The victim, 17-year-old Lawrence Janson, was shot in the back by a Concord man who aspired to join the notorious MS-13 gang.
MARTINEZ — A 24-year-old Concord man was sentenced Friday to 45 years to life for murdering a 17-year-old boy and shooting a woman weeks earlier, crimes both intended to impress MS-13 members into letting him join the gang.
Janson’s father lamented that, “This will never heal for me,” but said he’s happy to never have to return to court to see Uceda again. Glancing toward the defendant, Janson’s father then said that he felt like jumping over a courtroom barrier and “snapping your neck,” but quickly apologized for the remark.Uceda didn’t many any statement, other than saying, “No,” when Kennedy asked if he had anything to say.
Weeks before Janson’s murder, Uceda opened fire at a group of people in a Concord park that was a known Norteño hangout. He ended up nonfatally striking an unhoused woman who suffered serious injuries. In 2021, Uceda was offered a plea deal for a 25 years to life prison sentence and initially agreed to it. But on the day that the deal was supposed to go through, heof his cell and upended it, then repeated the stunt several more times. Finally, his attorney and the Contra Costa DA stopped trying to negotiate and went forward with a trial.
