Members of a Norteño street gang from Mountain View are expected to be sentenced

Members of a Norteño street gang from Mountain View are expected to be sentenced to prison Friday and in November for their roles in the stabbing death last year of an 18-year-old man following a Sunnyvale girl's 16th birthday party.
As part of an agreement, six people pleaded no contest in September to a variety of charges stemming from the fatal stabbing of Mario Aguilar of San Jose, who died July 12, 2009, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.
Five of the defendants were known gang members at the time of the fatal stabbing, according to a Sunnyvale police report.
John Macias, 19, and Luis Orozco, 21, pleaded no contest to a charge of voluntary manslaughter and are expected to be sentenced to prison for 18 years and eight months, and 23 years and eight months, respectively. Macias also pleaded to a charge of assault with a deadly weapon; Orozco pleaded to a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Both men must serve 85 percent of their sentences before being eligible for parole, according to prosecutor Tiyen Lin.
Also convicted for their roles in the fatal stabbing were Jose Rodriguez, 20, Timothy Segovia, 21 and Alberto Villarreal, 20, who pleaded no contest to a charge of assault by force likely to cause great bodily injury, with a gang enhancement. The men are expected to receive prison sentences ranging from four years to seven years and eight months.
