Murder convict gets 99 years for mistaken-identity ambush

It took jurors slightly less than two hours Thursday to sentence a San Antonio man to 99 years in prison for a Northwest Side murder a year ago that prosecutors described as a mistaken-identity ambush.

La-John Gabriel, 20, showed no emotion as the sentence was read. He had a similar reaction last July, when a detective told him he had shot the wrong guy, prosecutor Alejandro Ballesteros told jurors during closing arguments.
