Through the course of their investigation, police later arrested Shaun Terriel Perkins, 31, in connection with the incident.

Then, this week, he was found guilty of first-degree murder in connection with Urbina's death, according to the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office.
"When someone uses firearms to commit tragic crimes, they must be held accountable for their actions," said District Attorney Tori Verber Salazar.
