Mom Who Received $4.9M After Police Killed Her Son, Arrested For Buying Guns For Other Son’s Gang

A California woman who was rewarded nearly a $5 million settlement following the killing of her son by police has now been arrested for using some of that money to purchase guns for another son and gang members.

Christina Lopez, 42, was one of the 14 people charged in the arrest of a Fresno-area gang that was allegedly apart of the shooting death of a man in July, according to the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office.

According to Hollywood Unlocked, Police are saying the murder was a hit ordered on behalf of the gang by a murder convict who is serving a life sentence.

Back in April, Lopez’s family was awarded $4.9 million from the city of Fresno after police killed her 16-year-old son Isiah Murrietta-Golding after he ran from law enforcement.

Now authorities are saying Lopez has used the money she was rewarded to buy guns for her 14-year-old son who was part of a gang, and he would sell them to his members or sell.

Lopez is currently facing two felony counts of conspiracy to give out firearms to a minor for the use of a street gang as well as child endangerment and conspiracy to give a firearm to a gang member.
