Linda gang gunman gets 13 years in prison

A Linda gang member was sentenced Monday to 13 years in prison for shooting at a man in October, the Yuba County District Attorney’s Office reported.

Patrick O’Day, 20, pleaded guilty to assault with a firearm and participating in a street gang. In exchange, prosecutors dropped an attempted murder charge, the district attorney’s office said.

The victim’s name has never been released to protect that person’s safety.

Shots were fired Oct. 27 in the 1700 block of Hammonton-Smartsville Road.

Nobody was hurt.

Sheriff’s deputies searched O’Day’s home the following morning and recovered an unregistered handgun, believed to have been the weapon used in the shooting.

O’Day entered his plea and was sentenced Monday by visiting Judge James Dawson in Yuba County Superior Court.
