Gang Member Faces Sentencing Wednesday for String of Shootings in Pasadena

[UPDATED] A scheduled sentencing Wednesday for one of four men convicted of the murders of two men and attempted murder of a woman in a series of gang-related shootings in Pasadena between December 2016 and January 2017 that rocked Pasadena was postponed until next month, officials said.

During his trial, police said Isaiah Jack Daniels, 27, was the driver of a vehicle that was involved in a drive-by shooting on the night of Jan. 6, 2017, at California Boulevard and St. John Avenue that resulted in the deaths of Ormani Duncan and Antoine Sutphen, and the wounding of a woman.

Daniels fled to Mississippi after the shooting and was extradited to Pasadena.

He was scheduled to be sentenced for his crime on Wednesday, but the hearing was postponed until Oct. 19, according to Los Angeles County Superior Court records.

On Dec. 26, 2018, a jury convicted him, along with John Wesley Robinson and Pernell Barnes, for the Sutphen and Duncan murders and the attempted murder of the woman.

Robinson and Barnes have each been sentenced to two consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.

A third suspect, Derion Davon Lee, was sentenced last year to life in prison without the chance of parole for three counts of first-degree murder and other charges.

In addition to the murders of Sutphen and Duncan, who were both 24, Lee was charged with the shooting death of 25-year-old Brandon Douglas on Dec. 22, 2016, in the 1200 block of N. Fair Oaks Avenue.

Authorities said the shooting incidents were related to a clash between rival Pasadena and Duarte gangs.
