Two Found Guilty of 2014 Murder of Man in Long Beach RV
A 37-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man have been found guilty of beating a man to death in the recreational vehicle where he lived, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced today. Deputy District Attorney Rachel Hardiman said a jury found Anthony Josua Paz guilty today of one count of second-degree murder. The same jury also found Jazmin Montañez guilty yesterday of first-degree murder in case BA425236.
Montañez is scheduled for sentencing on Dec. 15 and Paz on Jan. 18 in Department S23 of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Long Beach Branch. Paz and Montañez face life in state prison. On Oct. 22, 2015, three other defendants in the case, Diana Sequen, 23, Jose Zolorza, 21, and David Romero, 31, each pleaded guilty to one count of assault with a deadly weapon with great bodily injury and were sentenced to eight years in state prison. Victim
Thomas Taylor, 60, would allow the five defendants to visit him and do drugs together at his RV, until one day Taylor decided he wanted more privacy and asked them not to come back, according to the evidence presented at trial. On the evening of Jan. 27, 2014, Taylor was beaten to death inside his home and his RV was set on fire with his body inside, the prosecutor said. The case was investigated by the Long Beach Police Department.

Nick Ut Nick Ut was born as Huỳnh Công Út in Long An, Vietnam, in 1951. In 1966, at
a very young age, Ut joined The Associated Press (AP) in Vietnam, after his older brother Huynh Thanh My, also an AP photographer, was killed in combat. There were many close calls for Nick Ut while covering the war in Vietnam. When the Americans and South Vietnamese invaded Cambodia in 1970, he was wounded three times: in his stomach, his left leg and in his chest. The highlight of Ut’s career came on June 8, 1972, when he photographed Kim Phuc running and screaming after
her village had been bombed with Napalm by South Vietnamese planes. Immediately after making the photo, he rushed the girl to a hospital, which saved her life. The image won every major photographic award in 1973, such as the World Press Photo award, the Pulitzer Prize, the George Polk Memorial Award, and the Overseas Press Club award.
