A jury on Thursday found a man guilty of first-degree murder in a Sacramento shooting four years ago after a confrontation with the victim inside a South Land Park liquor store.
D’Anthony Marcel Chaney, 35, was convicted in the shooting death of 43-year-old Terence Raythail Lindsey at Mike’s Liquor store, the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office announced in a news release.
The murder charge included an enhancement for firing a gun and causing death, prosecutors said. The jury also found Chaney guilty of being a convicted felon in possession of a gun.
The deadly shooting was reported about 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 2, 2022, at Mike’s Liquor store in the 5900 block of South Land Park Drive at the South Hills Shopping Center in Sacramento.
That evening, Chaney went into the liquor store to buy alcohol and cigars. Lindsey was already inside the store making a purchase.
Prosecutors said Chaney approached the store’s front counter and “exchanged words” with Lindsey, who let Chaney go in front of him in line.
Chaney left the store and, with a 9 mm gun in his hand, waited outside for Lindsey, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
When Lindsey walked out of the liquor store, Chaney shot him seven times at close range, prosecutors said.
Sacramento Fire Department personnel pronounced Lindsey dead at the scene. The fatal shooting drew a large law enforcement presence that Sunday night as authorities worked at the scene in the parking lot and investigators canvassed nearby businesses searching for witnesses.
Prosecutors said Chaney left California the following morning. Chaney was arrested in Reno a few days later by Sacramento Police Department homicide detectives and Reno police officers.
Lindsey of Sacramento was described as “a real life superhero” by his daughter, Orionna Andres-Lindsey, who at the time created an online GoFundme fundraiser to seek donations to help pay for funeral services. She called her father her best friend, who was the first person she went to when anything got tough and was always available when she needed him the most.
“He could do backflips at 35 and was still doing parkour at 43,” she wrote on the GoFundMe page. “He coached volleyball and had a team of kids absolutely adoring him as he taught them new tips and tricks that only a seasoned volleyball player would know.”
On Thursday afternoon, Chaney remained in custody at the Sacramento County Main Jail. He is scheduled to return July 31 for his sentencing hearing in Sacramento Superior Court.
Prosecutors said Chaney faces a maximum sentence of 53 years to life in prison.
