Police interview witnesses.
"As Vaughn Bigelow Jr. had his hands up cowering in fear Mr. Webster placed firmly the barrel of that gun to the child's head and pulled the trigger ending his life," said Chief Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Prince in closing arguments. "It doesn't get more intentional and deliberate than that."
The boy was with his mother, Meghan, and two other brothers when they were involved in a road rage incident on Sheridan Boulevard on the way to their dentist's office, when she attempted to move over into his lane due to an emergency vehicle behind her.
She testified that Webster screamed at her and followed her into the parking lot of the Cedarwood Square Office Complex at 5150 W. 80th Ave. in Westminster. It was there that Webster pulled out a gun and shot Meghan Bigelow and two of her children.
She and her then 7-year-old son, Asa, were both seriously wounded but survived. Vaughn Bigelow was killed. Another man, John Gale, who was in the parking lot waiting for his daughter's dentist appointment was also wounded.
He pulled the trigger until there were no more bullets.
Jeremy Webster was convicted of 12 counts, including first-degree murder and numerous counts of attempted murder and assault. Ten sentence enhancers were also proven. On June 14, 2018, he shot and killed 13-year-old Vaughn Bigelow and seriously wounded several others in an office complex parking lot near West 80th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard.
Webster pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
"He had a mood disorder that began at a very young age and it progressed, as it does," his attorney said during closings. By his 20s, Webster had Schizoaffective bipolar disorder, she said.
Webster received life without parole for the first-degree murder charge and 48 years for each of another six counts, which will run consecutive to each other and to the life sentence. He received 32 years each for another four counts, which will be served concurrently, and 16 years for a final count also to be served concurrently.
"His own mind was betraying him for his entire life," his attorney told the jury. Webster did not speak at his sentencing. His attorney said they plan to appeal.
