Two convicted murderers in California, Tevita Kaihea (22) and Charlie Hola (22), were handed large prison sentences by a court in Sacramento yesterday 27 August. Kaihea received a prison sentence of 112 years to life whilst Hola received 48 years to life.
A media statement was released by the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office, announcing that Kaihea and Hola were both members of the “Tonga Crip Gang”, and were guilty of committing various crimes including the murder of a 25-year-old man Roman Gonzalez in Sacramento in 2015.
The Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office said in it’s statement:
“Tevita Kaihea and Charlie Hola are members of the Tongan Crip criminal street gang. On September 3, 2015, Kaihea and Hola stole a car from the 47th Avenue Light Rail Station. They drove the stolen car to a Church’s Chicken on Florin Road, where they committed an armed robbery. They then shot a south Sacramento resident in the face when the resident noticed the two acting suspiciously in the neighborhood. That victim survived the shooting. After dumping the car near Sacramento City College, Kaihea and Hola got into a gang fight ending in the shooting death of Norteno gang member Roman Gonzalez. Kaihea shot and killed Roman Gonzalez on the Sacramento City College campus.”
