Summary
A California judge sentenced Jeffery Kendall, 39, to two consecutive 25-years-to-life terms for murdering Brittany Ligdis and endangering their 4-year-old son, who witnessed the shooting.
Prosecutors said Kendall broke into Ligdis' Pinole home on Feb. 16, 2024, just 10 days after she ended their relationship, then shot her in the head about 90 seconds into her 911 call.
A jury convicted him in May of first-degree murder and child endangerment, and Judge Glenn Kim also found him guilty of illegally possessing a 3D-printed semi-automatic pistol.
Kim barred Kendall from contacting his son, with limited court-approved exceptions, until November 2035, while prosecutors cast the killing as a domestic-violence escalation after a victim leaves.
