v.

GLANDROS JUNE, JR.,

Defendant and Appellant.

Glandros June, Jr., appeals from the judgment after a jury convicted him of discharge of a firearm with gross negligence (Pen. Code,1 § 246.3, subd. (a); count 2) in an incident in a Walmart parking lot, and three counts of assault with a firearm (§ 245, subd. (a)(2); counts 9, 10, 11) in an incident a year later at a tattoo parlor. The jury also found true enhancements of personal use of a firearm (§ 1192.7, subd. (c)(8) for count 2, and § 12022.5, subd. (a) for counts 9, 10, 11) and inflicting great bodily injury (§ 12022.7, subd. (a) for counts 9 and 10), and convicted

1 Undesignated statutory references are to the Penal Code. him of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person (§ 29805, subd. (a); counts 3, 12). June pleaded guilty to possession of a large capacity magazine (§ 32310, subd. (a); count 4), possession of a firearm by a prohibited person (§ 29805, subd. (a); count 5), and misdemeanor violations of providing false information to a peace officer (§ 148.9, subd. (a); count 6) and resisting a peace officer (§ 148, subd. (a)(1); count 7). June also admitted he was released on bail during commission of counts 4, 5, 9, 10, and 11 (§ 12022.1, subd. (b)). The trial court sentenced him to 21 years in state prison. June contends: (1) the trial court erroneously excluded evidence relevant to self-defense, (2) the prosecution failed to disclose exculpatory evidence, (3) the trial court erroneously admitted a jail phone call, (4) cumulative error denied him due process, (5) the prosecution violated the California Racial Justice Act of 2020 (RJA; § 745), and (6) the trial court abused its discretion by failing to strike enhancements. We correct errors in the abstract of judgment. In all other respects, we affirm. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY Walmart parking lot shooting 1. Prosecution evidence Miah O. posted on social media that Neveah T. had drugged her with methamphetamine. Neveah contacted Miah and threatened to fight her.2 In February 2021, Neveah and June, who were dating, entered the wireless store near Walmart in Oxnard where Miah was working. Neveah threw her hands up to challenge Miah to

2 fight. At Miah’s request, June and Neveah left the store. Miah phoned her stepmother who was the store manager, Cristal F. Cristal came to the parking lot outside the store and told June and Neveah to calm down. Miah’s father and her boyfriend, Justin H., then came to the parking lot. June and Justin walked toward each other and they fought. Cristal told police that June threw the first punch, but she testified at trial she did not see who swung first. Others joined the fight and some tried to separate the parties. June pulled out a handgun and shot Justin in the arm. June then aimed and fired at “[e]verybody in the crowd.” He ran away, “air shooting” as he ran. Police recovered seven nine- millimeter shell casings from the scene. 2. Defendant’s testimony June testified that Miah falsely accused him and Neveah of drugging and raping her about a month before the Walmart parking lot incident. In the following weeks, he and Neveah received four or five death threats in text messages. One text said there was a “GREEN LIGHT” on Neveah. A “green light” means “to attack somebody if you see them.” June also saw that Neveah received a picture of a gun. June “didn’t think this was that serious due to the fact that [he] didn’t do what they were saying [he] did.” June and Neveah went to the wireless store so Neveah could talk to Miah, not to fight her. June and Neveah left when Miah said she was going to call the police. Miah then texted Neveah to return. June and Neveah then walked toward the store to talk to Miah. He said he had a gun with him because there are frequent shootings and stabbings in Oxnard and he always tried to protect

3 himself. When they got to the parking lot outside the Walmart store, there were 10 or more people standing outside smiling at him. Cristal argued with Neveah in the parking lot. June knew Cristal was a professional boxer. Justin and Miah’s father got out of a car and both hit June. June knew Miah’s father was associated with a gang. June ran away. He looked back and saw Neveah on the ground. Justin, Cristal, and one or two other people were stomping and hitting Neveah. June was concerned he and Neveah would suffer great bodily injury because he had been “hit really hard” and she was being beaten by men and a professional boxer, “plus the previous pictures of guns and threatening me.” June then shot six or seven times at people to defend Neveah. 3. Verdict The jury was unable to reach a verdict on the charge of assault with a firearm on Justin (§ 245, subd. (a)(2)), and that charge was dismissed. The jury found June guilty of discharge of a firearm with gross negligence (§ 246.3, subd. (a); count 2) and found true a special allegation that he personally used a firearm (§ 1192.7, subd. (c)(8)). The jury also found him guilty of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person (§ 29805; count 3). Tattoo parlor shooting 1. Prosecution evidence June has four children with Kendra H. The day after his birthday in April 2022, June went to a tattoo parlor in Ventura to get a tattoo. June saw Kendra’s sister-in-law Quisha E., and Quisha’s sister Quiana E. June believed that Quisha had previously attempted to get Kendra arrested. Quisha shook June’s hand and introduced him to Quiana,

4 who also shook his hand. June then got a tattoo that said “stop snitchin’.” A verbal argument later ensued inside the shop. June swung at Quisha and Quiana, and they backed up. He then backed up and shot Quiana and Quisha. Five or six shots were heard. A customer, Andrew E., was getting a tattoo when he heard “aggressive talking.” When he stood up, June shot him three times. Nobody other than June had a gun. A car outside was already running during the shooting. June ran out of the tattoo parlor and jumped into the car, which sped away. Quisha suffered a gunshot wound in her right torso. Quiana suffered gunshot wounds to her gallbladder and colon, and was hospitalized for eight days. Andrew had bullet wounds to his stomach and finger. He was in the hospital for 11 days and could not walk for several weeks. June was arrested the next day. He had a loaded nine-millimeter handgun in his front pants pocket and a box of ammunition. He also had minor injuries to his head and lip. In the detective’s opinion, the injuries were not consistent with being attacked by multiple people the day before. June was also interviewed by police. He said Quiana shook his hand “really, really hard” and told him he had “a weak-ass handshake.” The owner of the tattoo parlor, R.W.,3 said he was from “here and here,” which June interpreted to mean R.W. was from Ventura Avenue and was “gang-banging” June. June said Quiana walked by him and he assumed she had a gun. People in the shop were giving him “weird looks.” He said people had

5 snitched on his “baby mama” and were mad he was getting the “stop snitchin’ ” tattoo.
