Man unleashes deadly ‘revenge’ rampage on ex’s family, kills 4 people, 3 dogs before torching home: DA

A California man bent on revenge after a breakup waited until his ex-boyfriend’s family went to bed before entering their home, gunning down four people and setting the house ablaze, prosecutors said.

Miguel Diego Sandoval, 21, has pleaded guilty to the November 2024 bloodbath inside a Lancaster home that left Janvi Maquindang, 21, Christine Aca-ac, 25, Edwin Garcia, 24, and Matthew Montebello, 21, dead.

"The defendant was jilted when he broke up with his boyfriend and then did something unimaginable when he killed four innocent people," Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J.

Hochman said.

"Rest assured this guilty plea will result in a lifetime prison sentence." The deadly rampage was sparked by the end of Sandoval’s relationship with Aca-ac and Maquindang’s brother, and prosecutors say he came looking for revenge.

On Nov.

16, 2024, Sandoval lurked outside the North Tabler Avenue home until the occupants had gone to bed, according to prosecutors.

He then went inside and opened fire, killing the four victims.

Sandoval torched the home after the shootings and fled, prosecutors said.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies responding to the burning home rescued the teen.

Three beloved family dogs were also killed, resulting in three felony animal cruelty counts against Sandoval.
