The sentencing of a man whom a jury convicted of voluntary manslaughter in Pacific Beach has been delayed until Oct. 3.

Desmond Alejandro Williams, 35, is awaiting another trial in a separate incident and a San Diego Superior Court judge felt it would be better to wait until the second case is resolved before Williams is sentenced, according to attorneys.

A jury rejected murder charges against Williams in April and convicted him of voluntary manslaughter in the June 22, 2019, death of Sean Snellman, 40, who was stabbed outside a 7-Eleven store near Mission Boulevard and Grand Avenue.

Deputy District Attorney Fred Washington said Williams faces up to 12 years in prison for manslaughter. Williams remains in the George Bailey Detention Facility on $800,000 bail.

Williams has a second trial set for Oct. 3 on a charge of committing torture and aggravated mayhem in 2010 in an incident near the former Qualcomm Stadium, said Washington.

Williams has pleaded not guilty in his other case and has waived his right to have a speedy trial.
