A 21-year-old Fontana man was sentenced 25 years to life in state prison in the brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend’s father, in which the victim was robbed, beaten and stabbed before his car was set on fire, the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office announced Monday.
In November 2016, Edward Morales was convicted of killing 40-year-old Alejandro Padilla — which included convictions for first degree murder, carjacking, robbery and kidnapping for the purpose of robbery...
Alma Quezada, Morales’ 41-year-old mother, was arrested as an accessory after the fact of murder and was sentenced to 19 days in county jail in September 2015. That same month, a man named Victor Morales pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact, though prosecutors did not specify what his sentence was.
