In November 2024, a brutal revenge attack unfolded in Lancaster, California, resulting in the deaths of four people.

He waited until the occupants of the North Tabler Avenue home had gone to bed before entering and opening fire.
The victims were identified as Janvi Maquindang, 21, Christine Aca-ac, 25, Edwin Garcia, 24, and Matthew Montebello, 21. The home was subsequently set on fire. Sandoval fled the scene but was apprehended later.
A 16-year-old managed to call 911 from a locked bedroom and was rescued by firefighters. Three family dogs also perished in the attack. Sandoval pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder, burglary, and arson, receiving a sentence of life in prison without parole.
