POMONA -- Prosecutors have reached plea agreements with five of the six teens charged in connection with the fatal shootings of two juveniles last year at Ted Greene Park.
The five defendants pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter on June 1 in Pomona Superior Court, and they were each sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to 12 years, according to court records.
Timmy Moore, 17, and Prithesh Dunn, 15, were fatally shot at about 3 p.m. on Jan. 29, 2010 during what witnesses described as a fight between rival gang members at the park, located at Orange Grove and La Verne avenues in Pomona.
The shooter, 15-year-old Denzel Isaiah Omar, allegedly opened fire with a .22-caliber rifle after a member of the opposing gang waved a gun above his head, police said.
Omar fired 13 rounds, killing Moore and Dunn and wounding a third teen, authorities said.
Omar and his five co-defendants were each charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.
They were charged as adults and potentially faced life in prison without the possibility of parole.
In addition to pleading no contest to voluntary manslaughter on June 1, Omar admitted to "special allegations" that he used a firearm and committed the crime in association with a gang.
Commissioner Wade Olson sentenced him to 12 years in state prison.
Dayveon Thomas, 18, Johnny Moore, 17, and Davonte Jenkins, 17, each pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter and admitted to a "special allegation" that they committed the crime in association with a gang.
They were each sentenced to nine years in prison.
Samuel Boyd, 18, pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to three years in state prison.
Prosecutors dismissed remaining criminal charges against the five teens.
Omar's older brother, 17-year-old Devin Adel Omar, did not reach a plea agreement with prosecutors.
He still faces two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. He is next due in court June 29, with a jury trial scheduled to begin July 5.
The prosecutor in the case, Deputy District Attorney Bjorn Dodd, could not be reached for comment this week. A message on his voicemail said he would be out of the office until Monday.
