Kevin B. Prasad was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole plus an additional 50 years for the 2018 murder of Mark Mangaccat, a coworker's boyfriend. The case highlighted the tragic circumstances of the murder, which occurred in front of Mangaccat's family. Judge Garratt found aggravating factors true and denied probation. Prosecutor Joshua Stauffer emphasized the unexpectedness of the attack and described the situation as incredibly tragic. Despite Prasad's claims of innocence, he was convicted of first-degree murder and other charges following a jury trial.
"(Mangaccat) didn't even know what was coming, and he was just gunned down because this guy wanted to get the girl essentially, Stauffer said."
"The fact that it occurred in front of his father, steps away from his daughter and the rest of his family, and he died in his mother's arms - it was such a tragic, tragic situation."
