Just after midnight on May 12, 2021, Rory Banks, 44, broke into the home of Ralph Mendez, 55, armed with two handguns, four knives, pepper spray, strobe lights and a hit list with four names and addresses, according to the district attorney’s office.
The district attorney’s office said the list of names was made up of the four registered sex offenders in Wheatland, which included Mendez.
Banks’s attorney revealed that Banks was influenced by “fringe conspiracy theories on social media” and that he should be found insane or be charged with voluntary manslaughter as Banks believed he was “defending the community”.
