A former Pacific Beach man convicted of second-degree murder in the 2008 slaying of his roommate was sentenced Oct. 21 to 15 years to life in state prison. Although Ian Alex Suazo, 24, was convicted by a jury in March 2010 of killing Ocie Raines, 39, he had been considered mentally incompetent to be sentenced until recently. Doctors at Patton State Hospital determined only recently that Suazo appeared to be mentally competent. On Friday, San Diego Superior Court Judge John Einhorn denied Suazo probation and gave him credit for about 1,100 days spent in jail and in the mental hospital. At his trial, Suazo pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but the jury determined he was sane when he stabbed Raines to death on Sept. 24, 2008 inside their Agate Street apartment. Following the stabbing, Suazo went outside and walked into the middle of the street around 9 a.m. and was hit by a car on Mission Boulevard. Investigators said this was apparently a suicide attempt and Suazo was arraigned in a hospital bed while recovering from injuries he suffered when he was struck by the car. Suazo was 21 at the time. Deputy District Attorney Ana De Santiago argued Suazo knew the difference between right and wrong and was able to keep a job at a bar in Pacific Beach before the slaying.
