SAN DIEGO — Former gay adult model for Sean Cody Entertainment, David Enrique Meza, best known by his stage name “Francisco”, was sentence to life in prison on Monday over the murder of his wealthy Texas boyfriend.
The 27-year-old Meza received the maximum sentence from the judge due to “heinous” actions and “inhumane, depraved act.” Meza committed in this crime.

You will remember this case from May 2015 when Meza slit the throat of his boyfriend, 52-year-old Texas retiree Jake Clyde Merendino. Meza then proceeded to stab Merendino 24 times before dumping his body in a ravine near a highway outside of Rosario Beach, Mexico.
Prosecutors presented evidence that Meza and his girlfriend planned the murder shortly after Merendino named Meza the heir of his estate. Meza was found guilty by a federal jury on May 2, 2017, two years after Merendino’s death. Meza was convicted of one count of interstate or foreign domestic violence resulting in murder, and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice.
