VISTA, Calif.—A man who gunned down his father-in-law and brother-in-law in northern San Diego County was sentenced May 31 to life in prison without the possibility of parole, plus 50 years.

Christian Bobila, 46, was convicted by a Vista jury earlier this year for the June 26, 2022, killings of Vicente Reyes, 79, and Vincent Reyes, 45. Prosecutors say the killings stemmed from “a long-simmering family schism'' over Bobila’s marriage to Vicente Reyes’ daughter, which happened without Vicente Reyes’ blessing.
