Michael Daniel Mayberry, 36, is also charged with one count of possession of a firearm by a felon and could face up to 50 years and eight months to life in state prison if convicted, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Mayberry allegedly gunned down his wife, Sandy, at their home in the 15600 block of Newmont Avenue on Feb. 25.
Sheriff’s deputies found the woman on the ground in front of the residence with at least one gunshot wound. She died at the scene, where a handgun was recovered, according to Deputy Wally Bracks of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
Mayberry was arrested that afternoon and has been held since then in lieu of $2 million bail, jail records show.
He is due back in a Lancaster courtroom May 14 for a hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to require him to stand trial.

This dude was a SWIFT TRUCK DRIVER, I don’t think I ever came across him in the Fontana trucking yard, but I’m sure that was his home base. When this was first posted I noticed the SWIFT TRUCK parked near by, and after reading it, thought he came home to kill this beautiful mother who just wanted out of the marriage. Women sometimes it’s better not to say anything, MUST LEAVE AND GET AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN WITH YOUR KIDS.
