LOS ANGELES—A former Riverside resident who shot two Jewish men after they left synagogues in the Pico-Robertson district last year less than 24 hours apart was sentenced Monday to 35 years in federal prison.

Jaime Tran, 30, pleaded guilty in June in downtown Los Angeles to all charges against him, including two counts of hate crimes with intent to kill and two counts of using, carrying, and discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
