MILL VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 29 (UPI) -- A 21-year-old man was sentenced to 21 years in state prison for fatally shooting a man in Marin County, Calif., over a burrito being thrown, a judge said.
The Marin (Calif.) Independent Journal said Judge Kelly Simmons' sentence for Joseph Andrew Farnsworth Wednesday was part of a plea bargain with the district attorney's office for the 2008 shooting death of 25-year-old William Maclean.
Maclean was shot and killed May 24, 2008, while traveling through Mill Valley, Calif., with a Hell's Angels convoy.
The shooting took place during a road rage incident involving a burrito being thrown at the vehicle Farnsworth had been a passenger in, authorities said.
Farnsworth reportedly shot at a pickup truck on northbound Highway 101 during the dispute, fatally wounding Maclean as he sat in the front passenger's seat. The driver of the truck, Maclean's brother-in-law Raymond Foakes, was unhurt in the incident.
"I do not understand such rage and anger that would cause the taking of a life," said Maclean's grandmother, who did not provide her name to the Independent Journal. "I don't understand."
