A sailor charged with attempted murder in a Dec. 6, 2008 shooting at Belmont Park pled guilty March 23 to assault with a deadly weapon. Probation has been ruled out for Latorris Dequintin Boone, 24, who admitted wounding Orlando Negron in the upper thigh following an argument. Charges of attempted murder and discharging a firearm from a vehicle were dismissed after he pled guilty to assault. “He will go to prison,” said Deputy District Attorney Patty Herian. “It’s either 12, 13 or 14 years.” On Dec. 6, 2008, a rented party bus stopped at Belmont Park in Mission Beach around 10:30 p.m. and several people got into an argument with Boone and another man. Boone took a handgun from his waistband and fired several shots toward the crowd near a nightclub, hitting Negron in the thigh, according to San Diego police. Boone and another man fled in a black truck, but witnesses were able to get a partial license plate number. Boone was later identified as the gunman, and detectives learned that he is in the Navy and stationed aboard the USS Nimitz. San Diego police officers arrested Boone on Dec. 17 when the USS Nimitz returned to North Island. Boone pled guilty just one day before his preliminary hearing. Sentencing was set for May 7 by San Diego Superior Court Judge Michael Smyth. Boone remains in county jail on $1 million bail.
