Overview
- San Francisco Superior Court Judge Eric Fleming said he intends to impose 31 years plus two life sentences, including one without parole, on Keonte Gathron.
- Formal sentencing was postponed after Gathron said he had not received his presentence report, with a hearing set for Dec. 4 to finalize the terms.
- A jury earlier this month convicted the 25-year-old of murder and dozens of felonies from a two-week 2019 spree that included robberies, carjackings and burglaries.
- Prosecutors said he targeted vulnerable victims, many of Asian descent or with limited English, including Huang, who died in 2020 after the attack.
- Gathron represented himself, denied the crimes, claimed without evidence that video and DNA were manipulated by AI, vowed to appeal, and heard victim impact statements from Huang’s family.
