Eduardo Ubiarco appeals from a resentencing order. His appellate counsel filed a brief under People v. Delgadillo (2022) 14 Cal.5th 216, and Ubiarco filed a supplemental brief.

Ubiarco also shot Claudia’s father, Jesus L., who had tried to defend his daughter. Jesus was seriously wounded but survived. A jury convicted Ubiarco of the first degree murder of Claudia (Pen. Code,1 § 187, subd. (a); count 1) and of the attempted murder of Jesus (§§ 664, 187, subd. (a); count 2). The jury also found true personal gun use allegations (§ 12022.5, subd.

On March 4, 2022, a court sentenced Ubiarco to 25 years to life plus three years on count 1 and, on count 2, to a consecutive 15 years to life, plus three years for the gun use allegation, and three years for the great bodily injury allegation.
