A Southern California man has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for shooting dead his garage bandmate's wife as she held her toddler son in her arms during a heated argument over the 2016 presidential election.
John Kevin McVoy Jr, 40, of Corona, received the maximum sentence Monday after being convicted of murder last month. A jury found McVoy not guilty of two counts of attempted murder and a count of child endangerment.
McVoy, who ran an online store selling musical instruments, was in a garage band, Below the Faultline, with Victor Garcia and two others.
During practice on January 10, 2017, the two got into a dispute over politics at Garcia’s home in North Long Beach, prosecutors said, according to reporting by the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
McVoy pulled a gun after he was teased for saying he had voted for Hillary Clinton, and Garcia snapped his fingers at him and ordered him to 'get the [expletive]' out of his house, prosecutors said.
McVoy shot and wounded Garcia and a second shot fatally struck Garcia’s wife, Susan Garcia, 33, as she held their son, Rey, on her lap. The boy was not hurt.
Garcia was shot in the head. He told the court on Monday that he was in a coma for months, underwent two brain surgeries and still has physical issues, including permanent loss of control of one foot.

When given a chance to speak, McVoy said he did not intend to hurt anyone and apologized to the victim's family.
