MURRIETA - Jury selection began today in the trial of a manaccused of gunning down a San Jacinto resident in an ambush-style revenge attack. Abram Daniel Palacios, 35, of San Jacinto, is charged with first-degree murder, a special circumstance allegation of lying in wait and sentence-enhancing gun and great bodily injury allegations for the 2013 slaying of 23-year-old Ivan Ibarra Carrillo. The defendant's half-brother, 50-year-old Juan Javier Mejia of Palm Springs, was convicted in 2016 of identical charges and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
