The suspected leader of a crew accused of killing a New Zealand tourist at the Fashion Island mall previously dodged prison time for an armed robbery in Los Angeles County but now finds himself, along with his alleged accomplices, facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars.
Leroy McCrary — who along with Malachi Darnell and Jaden Cunningham is charged with the killing of 68-year-old Patricia McKay — previously was convicted in Los Angeles County of residential burglary and making criminal threats.
