SACRAMENTO, CA - A Sacramento man who fatally stabbed another man he claimed looked at his wife the wrong way is headed to prison for 26 years to life.

William Michael Todd was sentenced in Sacramento County Superior Court. In April, a Sacramento jury convicted Todd of first-degree murder with the use of a knife in the May 31, 2010, slaying of David Endres.

According to court records, Todd and Endres were standing outside a friend's apartment, drinking beer, when Todd took offense at how Endres looked at his wife. Without warning, Todd took out a knife and stabbed Endres twice, once in the abdomen and once in the heart.

Sacramento County District Attorney spokeswoman Shelly Orio said Todd immediately fled but was captured a few blocks away. DNA analysis of blood on his shirt matched Endres' blood DNA.

SACRAMENTO, CA - A Sacramento National Guardsman has been sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to two felony counts of animal abuse.

Ramone Dupree King Jr. was accused of drowning a neighbor's chihuahua by putting it in a washing machine and turning the machine on. The dog had reportedly bit a child. That was in April 2010.

Several weeks later, King's girlfriend reported he kicked her Pomeranian to death after it urinated in his bedroom.

When first charged, King initially denied killing the chihuahua and claimed the Pomeranian's death was an accident, according to Shelly Orio, spokeswoman for the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office.

King enlisted in the California National Guard in 2006, said spokesman Major Jonathan Shiroma. King has not been deployed into combat.

King did not have a prior criminal record. He was sentenced to two years and eight months behind bars.
