By Rosalio AhumadaThe Sacramento BeeRIO LINDA, Calif. — A judge sentenced a man to 44 years in prison for firing reportedly more than 20 gunshots at Sacramento County sheriff’s deputies during a 2023 standoff that went on for six hours at the defendant’s Rio Linda apartment.
Prosecutors said a resident at the apartment complex called 911 to report gunshots coming from his neighbor’s apartment.
Sheriff’s officials said the 911 caller told dispatchers “they heard a big blast and found a bullet in their closet.”
Sheriff’s officials said deputies and negotiators learned a woman was inside the apartment with Murphy, and they evacuated her to safety during the standoff.
Prosecutors said investigators searched Murphy’s apartment and found two handguns, a shotgun and more than 60 spent shell casings.
