LOS ANGELES — a Southern California man who shot two Jewish men outside synagogues in hate-motivated attacks will plead guilty in return of a sentence of around 40 years, prosecutors said Tuesday. Jaime Tran, 29, could have faced up to life in prison in the February 2023 shootings that wounded two men, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California said. Under a plea deal, once Tran pleads guilty he faces between 35 and 40 years, the office said.
He left dental school in 2018 'after making hateful statements about other students whom he perceived to be Jewish,' and later sent messages to classmates that included threats to kill Jews, the plea agreement says. In November 2022, around two months before the shootings, Tran sent out a antisemitic flyer that said the 'covid agenda' was Jewish, according to the document. Tran has had mental health holds in the past, the plea agreement says.
