Michael Daniel Mayberry is charged with one count of murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon in connection with the death of 29-year-old Sandy Mayberry, according to Paul Eakins of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. The murder charge includes an allegation of using a firearm, a handgun, causing great bodily injury or death.
The shooting was reported around 3:11 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 25, in the 15600 block of Newmont Avenue, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Deputies found Sandy Mayberry on the ground in front of the residence with at least one gunshot wound, officials said.
“Attempts to save her life were unsuccessful and she was pronounced dead by responding fire department personnel,” said Deputy Wally Bracks of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
The weapon believed to be used in the homicide was recovered at the scene, Bracks said.
Michael Mayberry was detained on Sunday and then booked on suspicion of murder and held on $2 million bail.
He was scheduled to be arraigned on the charges Tuesday afternoon, but arraignment was instead postponed until March 19 in Department A1 of the Antelope Valley Courthouse, according to Eakins.
Authorities have not said what they believe led to the fatal shooting.
If convicted as charged, Michael Mayberry could face up to 50 years and eight months to life in state prison, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

And nobody saw this coming, like from day 1? Ladies, this is what awaits you. If not death, then rapes, beatings, squalor or a life of crime. You can make better choices than this.

So true sir, I’m a trucker and I’ve worked for SWIFT, and to think he was o the same yard with me and an ex felon at that!!!
Maria says
She liked that bad-boy felon type so she too contributed to her death. Yes, it’s sad but she was looking for trouble and got more than she could handle.
Alexis says
@Maria…As are all of our comments, they are only opinions, and have nothing to do with the truth. I completely disagree with your opinion, Maria.

A friend says
I knew this family and on many occasions my son played with their children next door at the neighbors house and even played over at their house a couple times while Mike was home with the kids……I didn’t know them super personally but my boyfriend and his brother did and from what I knew Mike was a nice guy and Sandy was a hard working women supporting her family. You just never knew what’s going to happen next. I feel for these babies that are going to be left with out a mother thats passed and a father that’s going to be in prison. Their kids are sweet joyful kids and Mike and Sandy always seemed in good spirits. It’s tragic what he did and it’s sad that she’s gone.

Roughneck love NEVER has a good outcome (for the ladies). Felon with firearms we are ALL shocked ( yep not surprising). Poster child for more criminal justice reform? What was his felony conviction? Beside the current charge. Usually in these situations there was prior violence in the house. A clear and present danger to you ladies who love these roughneck convicts. First you cannot save them and you cannot change them.
At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.
