Nov 14, 2024
The second of two men who pleaded guilty to a drive-by shooting at a La Jolla house party that killed a young woman and wounded three other people was sentenced Thursday to 35 years in state prison.
Odyssey Sellers Carrillo, 23, pleaded guilty in San Diego Superior Court to voluntary manslaughter and other charges for the shooting death of 20-year-old Nina Silver.
Silver and three men were among a group of people who were struck by gunfire about 12:30 a.m. June 23, 2019, while they were standing in an alley off Cuvier Street.
Prosecutors allege gang motivations were behind the shooting, and Silver was not the intended target.
Silver was shot in the back, while the three wounded victims were shot in the face, chest and arm, respectively.
San Diego police said a light-colored sedan drove north in the alley and an occupant fired several rounds at the victims.

Along with manslaughter, Carrillo pleaded guilty to an attempted murder count and two counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, while Campbell pleaded guilty to three assault counts.
