The defendant testified 20-year-old Brayan Rodriguez died accidentally in 2017.
convicted of involuntary manslaughter for the death of his boyfriend — a UC San Diego student — was sentenced Wednesday to time already served behind bars., now 26, of murder and found him guilty of the lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter involving the September 2017 death of 20-year-old Brayan Rodriguez, according to Deputy District Attorney Julie Kramer.
Ortiz testified in his own defense and contended that Rodriguez had died accidentally during “erotic asphyxiation,” according to the prosecutor, who countered that the act was intentional and that the defendant knew the conduct was dangerous to human life. Friends and relatives had spent much of the weekend searching for Rodriguez, passing out flyers with his photo. Rodriguez’s body was found Sept. 24, 2017, in Ortiz’s closet at a home in the 23600 block of Via Valer.
Ortiz was arrested the next day by Los Angeles County sheriff’s homicide investigators, and was released from jail after the jury returned its verdict May 18, according to jail records.
