A 27-year-old man from California has been found guilty of murdering his father and stepmother, having broken into their residence and streamed the tragic event live on social media as his young stepsister watched in terror.

A jury in San Francisco determined that Irvin Hernandez-Flores was guilty of two counts of second-degree murder, each accompanied by a firearms-related enhancement, for the deaths of Jose Hernandez and Yesenia Soto, as announced by authorities.

“This devastating act left a young girl without her parents and deeply impacted our community,” stated District Attorney Brooke Jenkins after the trial. “Our homicide unit works diligently every day to ensure justice and accountability, and this verdict demonstrates our commitment to achieving the outcomes our victims deserve.”

As per a press release from the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, on August 13, 2022, at approximately 2:20 a.m., Hernandez-Flores drove to the residence located on the 1100 block of Ingerson Avenue near Jennings Street. The former U.S. Marine climbed over the locked security fence and forced entry into the home.

Once inside, Hernandez-Flores shot his father five times before directing his firearm toward his stepmother, shooting her six times. The father was declared dead at the scene, while the stepmother was taken to a nearby hospital, where she died from her injuries the next day.

Both murders took place in front of Hernandez and Soto’s 11-year-old daughter, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Authorities said that after the murders, Hernandez-Flores took out his phone and began livestreaming the scene.

“In this video, the defendant appears proud and happy with himself, all while you can clearly see his father lying in a pool of blood, and his stepmother slowly dying from her multiple gunshot wounds,” San Francisco District Attorney’s Office spokesperson Randy Quezada told the Chronicle in 2022. “These were crimes that were clearly premeditated.”

In a jailhouse interview with local Fox affiliate KTVU, Hernandez-Flores claimed he was heavily intoxicated at the time of the murders and did not “remember much” from that night. He did remember that he entered the couple’s bedroom while they slept, which is when his father woke up and charged at him.

“Once I emptied the clip I turned on the lights and I see him on the floor,” Hernandez-Flores recalled. “I see his suffering and then I stopped his suffering.”

“You shot him some more?” the reporter asked.

“Yes, ma’am,” he responded.

Hernandez-Flores said he did not remember much of what he said on the livestream, but claimed it was likely his way of saying “goodbye” to his family.

Afterward, Hernandez-Flores said the child was so shocked at what she had witnessed that she did not even cry, adding that he needed to help her call 911.

“No child should have to witness the murder of her parents like the victim did in this tragic case,” Assistant District Attorney John Roman said in a statement.
