A 27-year-old California man was sentenced on Monday to life in prison for murdering his wealthy older boyfriend in 2015 — a crime the judge called “shockingly evil.”
David Meza was convicted in May of domestic violence resulting in murder and conspiracy to obstruct justice in the slaying of 51-year-old Texas retiree Jake Merendino, who was found stabbed 24 times with his throat slit in a ravine near Rosarito, Mexico, on May 2, 2015.
In addition to his life sentence, Meza was ordered to serve an additional 20 years in prison for the conspiracy to obstruct charge.
Meza’s attorneys did not immediately return messages seeking comment on Monday night.

And that's why I'm republishing this (former) obit, originally posted more than two and a half years ago: March 11, 2012.
