EL CAJON, Calif. -- A woman who shot and killed her live-in boyfriend in Flinn Springs during an alcohol-fueled disagreement over the unemployed victim's plan to take a new job was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in state prison.
Gina Rene Manley, 50, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the Nov. 9, 2009, shooting death of 56-year-old Ralph Grice. She was arrested shortly after the shooting in the couple's recreational vehicle at an Olde Highway 80 trailer park.
Two people heard the couple arguing, then a pair of gunshots about a second-and-a half apart, San Diego County sheriff's Detective Scott Enyeart testified at an earlier hearing.
One bullet struck Grice in the head and traveled down his neck before coming to rest in his lower back, according to the detective.
Authorities said Manley was upset that her unemployed partner was taking a new job in Temecula and planned to remain in the Riverside County community several nights a week to avoid a lengthy commute.
Manley was sentenced by El Cajon Judge Lantz Lewis.
