Man found guilty of murder in mysterious 2018 Malibu state park campground shooting

A Los Angeles jury on Friday found a man guilty of second-degree murder in the 2018 shooting death of a father who was camping with his young daughters — and of the attempted murders of the two young girls — all at a popular state park in the Malibu area of Southern California. 

It was one of a rash of mysterious shootings and break-ins in the area dating back to 2016 which suspect Anthony Rauda was charged in connection with.

Rauda, 46, fatally shot Tristan Beaudette in the head while the 35-year-old father, a chemist from Irvine, camped in a tent with his daughters on June 22, 2018, in Malibu Creek State Park, about 30 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, the jury ruled.
