Phillip Liberto, 23, of Fairfield, California, was shot on July 22, 2015, in the parking lot of an apartment complex on Phoenix Drive and died of his injuries on July 27, 2015. The shooting occurred during a confrontation in which Liberto and fellow gang members Jaime Ponce Hernandez, Jamison P. Nodine, and Leonel Garcia Flores Jr. confronted a person who had left their gang. He was taken to a trauma center and later pronounced dead.

Prosecutors charged the participants and the case moved through the courts. Jaime Ponce Hernandez, 24, pleaded no contest to reduced counts of voluntary manslaughter and attempted murder and was given a nine-year, four-month prison term. Leonel Garcia Flores Jr., 23, was sentenced to eight years for assault with a firearm with a gang enhancement. Jamison P. Nodine, 21, was convicted on counts that included voluntary manslaughter, assault likely to produce great bodily injury, and conspiracy and received a 17-year, eight-month prison sentence.
