Annamaria Gana received a 40-year prison sentence for the 2011 shooting death of her husband in front of their children. Investigation Discovery’s Evil Lives Here: Shadows of Death: Mother’s Day Murder tells the horrific story of how Annamaria killed her husband, Antonio, on Mother’s Day in 2011.
In April 2013, a jury found 43-year-old Annamaria guilty on two counts of attempted murder and first-degree murder. They also learned that she had committed the extraordinary act of killing someone while she was waiting, and confirmed the validity of the various allegations related to the use of a firearm that caused serious harm and death.
In June 2013, Annamaria’s first-degree murder conviction was reduced to a second-degree murder conviction because the possibility of a stalking murder was ruled out. She claimed that she was ashamed of what she had done and that she had acted out of anger and depression.
Annamaria and her children celebrated Mother’s Day on May 8, 2011. The whole family was present and had a lot of fun. She then retired to her bedroom to relax. She had drawn a revolver and fired a bullet into the ceiling, authorities later discovered. Antonio, the children and others rushed to the scene to investigate.
Then Annamaria started shooting at Antonio, hitting him in the chest. The first person to enter the bedroom was him. Then, as Annamaria chased after the children as they ran away, she shot Tony in the arm. She managed to get out of the house somehow so she could call 911.
Alfonso took the gun from his mother when she was trying to kill herself in the head. However, the bullet missed his neck. Alfonso then grabbed the gun and ran off. Annamaria was standing and looking into the distance when the police found her with Antonio. When she was questioned by a sheriff’s deputy, she confessed to shooting Antonio.
Annamaria is still being held at the California Institution for Women in Chino, Riverside County, records show. She will be eligible for parole in 2036. She admitted that her actions were wrong, but her medical problems drove her insane to commit such a terrible crime.
The defense claimed that Annamaria had experienced delirium, psychosis and sadness as a result of her cancer treatment during her 2013 trial. Annamaria was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, which required a double mastectomy. As part of her treatment, she was undergoing chemotherapy and radiation.
She also used medication to help her sleep. Annamaria told police that her recent stress was the result of her failed business. She discovered that she had been contemplating suicide for a few weeks and that she had planned to kill her family first.
After more than ten years in the army, Antonio Mejorano Gana left the army. At the island’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport, he also served as general manager. While working in the Philippines in 1991, Antonio and Annamaria initially met.
The couple’s two sons were named Tony and Alfonso. Around 2007, the family moved to Tustin, California, following Antonio’s retirement. There they acquired a franchise for a UPS mail center, which was their main source of income.
