PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon man sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting and killing his brother likely will spend most of the time at the state mental hospital.
Investigators said 27-year-old Jeova Sierra-Sanchez was mistaken in his belief that his 18-year-old brother, Serviano Sierra-Sanchez, had betrayed him by having an affair with his girlfriend.
Jeova Sierra-Sanchez was placed under the supervision of the state Psychiatric Security Review Board after a doctor testified he suffers from schizophrenia and is developmentally delayed.
Jeova Sierra-Sanchez told Portland police that he wanted to shoot his brother where it hurt the most by firing the first round into his brother’s groin on Sept. 11, 2003. He then fired a fatal round into his brother’s head.
