Marcus Eriz has been found guilty of murder in the Orange County, California, road rage incident that killed 6-year-old Aiden Leos in 2021.

Eriz was convicted of second-degree murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle and two felony enhancements of the personal discharge of a firearm causing great bodily injury and death.

“While we will never know what Aiden would have become, we know that the pursuit of justice did not end until his killer was captured and this child murderer was prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in a statement after the verdict.

Eriz will be sentenced on April 12. The 26-year-old faces 40 years to life in prison.

    I really appreciate your kind concern. It must be nice living your life in such a safe environment that you think the person you’re talking to lives just like you and that person must have a mental problem to think otherwise.

      If you are too afraid to leave your house without a bulletproof vehicle you do need to go see someone.

      I am not judging them for it, I am trying to help them as someone who lived 35 years of their life with an undiagnosed anxiety disorder who just thought that everyone felt the same way

        Um… Who said I am afraid to leave my house? Why would you assume something you know nothing about?

        “I’m not judging them for it…” but you are. I’m sorry you had/have that problem. Keep your diagnosis to yourself.

        I’m quite happy leaving my house. I don’t have anxiety. I do have a therapist and he’s treating my ADHD.

        Since I’m already buying a new vehicle, given the state of American gun violence, why not pick up a vehicle that is slightly more bulletproof than any other vehicle? I’m paying the same amount for another vehicle that is not bulletproof. “Bulletproof” is like the airbag. I have never gotten into an accident where the airbag deployed. But I sure glad its there when I need it. Just another safety feature.
