The defendant waived a jury trial and pleaded guilty to the charge of murder for the slaying of Daniel Gonzales on March 28, 2023.

The DA’s Office said, on that date, Klaus arrived at an apartment that he and his girlfriend shared when he found Gonzales there.

Klaus and Gonzales got into an argument when the defendant shot the victim multiple times, killing him, the DA’s Office said.

An argument ensued and the defendant fired shots at Gonzales, who sustained multiple gunshot wounds, which ultimately led to his death.

Klaus was issued credit for 554 days he spent in jail toward his prison sentence.
