A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Friday for a man convicted in the 2016 shooting murder of a woman in Garden Grove.

Nathan Joseph Licsano of Garden Grove faces a potential sentence of 50 years to life in state prison. This hearing was originally scheduled for July, but was continued to this week.

According to the Orange County District Attorney’s office, on Aug. 24, 2016, Liscano went to a home in Garden Grove. After a verbal and physical altercation between the victim, Kellie Nichol, 31, and the defendant’s mother in front of the residence, the defendant pulled out a gun and shot the victim in the face and chest.

Nichol attempted to run away after the initial shots, but Liscano chased her and shot her three times in the back. After he shot the victim, the defendant fled the scene.

Police were called by a witness shortly after the shooting. The victim died at the scene as a result of multiple bullet wounds.

The crime was captured by a home surveillance system, which showed Liscano’s face during the incident. The defendant fled to Corpus Christi, Texas, where he was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service on Sept. 13, 2016. The Garden Grove Police Department investigated this case.

On Jan. 30, 2019, he was convicted of one felony count of first degree murder with a sentencing enhancement for personal discharge of a firearm causing great bodily harm or death.

The hearing is scheduled to be held in Central Justice Center in Santa Ana at 9 a.m.
