Aslanian was also found guilty of a third and separate February 2022 incident in which he paid someone through Rivera to have a vacant unit at a rental property he owned set on fire in order to induce the remaining rental residents to leave.
In April 2022, Rivera met with a gang-affiliated convicted felon looking to arrange the hits. Rivera told the unidentified man that the requests to kill M.Y. and S.E. were coming from a real estate businessman named “Arthur”. Rivera and the felon met up again on Aug. 10, 2022. Rivera told the other party to focus on killing S.E. first, and showed the man a Facebook profile belonging to S.E. containing a photo and business information in order to help the felon carry out the hit.
