SAN DIEGO—A man convicted twice of fatally shooting a 16-year-old boy on a San Diego freeway nearly 25 years ago was sentenced May 14 to 25 years to life in state prison.
Phong Huynh, 47, was convicted in two separate jury trials in 2015 and 2019 of first-degree murder for the Feb. 13, 2000, car-to-car shooting of Nghia Tan Pham. Mr. Huynh was sentenced each time to 50 years to life in state prison, but appellate courts overturned both convictions.
