A Los Angeles County jury recommended death penalty for Rudy Ruiz, 34, and John Perez, 46, both Hispanic. The jury convicted the 2 men last week of 3 counts of murder, 7 counts of attempted murder and 1 count of conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the June 27, 2009, shooting. Killed in the mass shooting were cousins Garret Dandini, 25, and Tony Dandini, 39, along with 39-year-old Carlos Carrera. 7 other people were wounded by the indiscriminate gunfire. Ruiz and Lopez opened fire on a crowd at Falcone's Pizza under the mistaken belief it was a gathering of members of the Mongols motorcycle gang. But the gathering was actually a fundraiser hosted by the "Old School Riders," a local motorcycle club detectives said has no ties to gang activity. Ruiz and Perez were ordered to return to Court July 12 to be sentenced by Judge Robert J. Perry.
