Three of the four men tied to the 2009 shooting death of a woman, which occurred when gang members entered the wrong house looking for rivals, have now pleaded guilty.

Alexander Bloomfield, 35, was scheduled to go to trial on Monday for murder in the July 19, 2009, death of 21-year-old Krystal Flores, who was shot in the head while sleeping on a couch in a Salt Lake City home.

But on Friday, Bloomfield pleaded guilty to lesser third-degree felony counts of homicide by assault, felony discharge of a weapon and attempted burglary.

He faces up to 15 years in prison when he is sentenced Sept. 23 by 3rd District Judge Randall Skanchy.

Bloomfield in a plea document admits giving an address to his three co-defendants, knowing they were going to commit a felony.

Earlier this month, Pailate K. Lomu, 27, was sentenced to two to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree felony manslaughter and second-degree felony burglary.

Lomu was not the accused triggerman, according to court records, but drove the group of four men to a neighborhood seeking revenge on rival gang members after Lomu was targeted in a prior shooting. Prosecutor Vincent Meister told the judge during Lomu's sentencing that the men had been partying before arriving at the home near 1300 South and 1500 West and were intoxicated.

"They were so drunk and so inept they got the wrong house," Meister said. "[There was] a young lady lying on a couch who was shot in the back of the head while she was sleeping."

Flores died at a hospital two weeks later.

A third defendant, Nitokalisi Niki Fonua, 33, has told police that he quickly realized they were in the wrong house and started to leave. But Fonua said he fired a rifle shot to scare Flores because he thought she was on the phone with police, according to prosecutors.

Fonua in April was sentenced to a two-to-20-year prison term.

The fourth defendant, George Blake Angilau, 26, has allegedly admitted to firing his gun at a rival gang member while he was outside acting as a lookout. He has a scheduling hearing on Oct. 3.
