A 39-year-old man pleaded guilty Monday and was immediately sentenced to more than 21 years in prison for shooting two people in Huntington Beach last year.
Sergio Mario Guevara of Huntington Beach pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted murder, shooting from a motor vehicle, possession of a gun by a felon and being a prohibited person owning ammunition, all felonies, and misdemeanor counts of possessing drug paraphernalia and a controlled substance. He admitted a sentencing enhancement for the personal use of a gun.
Guevara accepted a plea deal from Orange County Superior Court Judge Tania Vallejo, who dismissed sentencing enhancements for attempted premeditated murder and discharge of a gun causing great bodily injury. Guevara was sentenced to a total of 21 years and two months in prison and had credit for 408 days behind bars since his arrest.
The shooting happened about 8:50 p.m. March 16, 2025, in the 7000 block of Mandrell Drive, police said. The two victims suffered non-life-threatening wounds.
Guevara was arrested July 3, 2025, near Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue.
