A 40-year-old man who pleaded guilty in connection with the fatal shooting of a man in a Stanton motel room was sentenced Friday to time served in jail.
Brandon Garet Iseminger, who pleaded guilty May 13, 2022, to felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and conspiracy, testified in the trials of co-defendants Amy Lynn Black and Joel Brandon Martinez, who were both convicted and are awaiting sentencing.

Judge Gary Paer sentenced Iseminger to six years in prison, but the defendant has credits for 3,258 days in jail, so he will not be placed on parole and was excused from paying fines.
Iseminger told the judge he has found a job "working with other alcoholics and addicts."
Black and Martinez were convicted of second-degree murder in the killing of 35-year-old Carlos Beltran Aguilar on the afternoon of Aug. 26, 2019 in the Villa Motel, 11672 Beach Blvd.
Co-defendant Gilbert Timothy Ramirez also accepted a plea deal like Iseminger and was sentenced last year to 10 years and four months in prison.
Black was Aguilar's girlfriend and she grew upset with him over his drug use and "cheating," Senior Deputy District Attorney Alexa Elliott said.
Regarding her boyfriend, Black called Martinez, who supplied drugs to her to sell out of her motel room, Elliott said.
Martinez showed up to the Stanton motel with Ramirez and Iseminger, the prosecutor said. He shot Aguilar once, killing him.
Iseminger and Ramirez were unaware of the plan to shoot Aguilar, so they received plea deals, Elliott said.
