A news conference is scheduled later Wednesday in San Bernardino. It was the deadliest attack in the USA since those of September 11, 2001. At the time, Marquez was not charged with a crime.
“I don’t forgive him myself”, said the mosque-goer who did not attend the funeral. When he didn’t show up for work the next day as a doorman at a pirate-themed neighborhood bar, his co-workers began to worry.
Marquez, who had checked himself into a Los Angeles-area psychiatric hospital shortly after the shootings, quickly emerged as a key figure in the investigation of the shootings.

US prosecutors are considering filing firearms charges against Marquez, with state gun charges also possible, one of the government sources told Reuters on condition of anonymity. The men were convicted and sentenced to long prison terms. Upon investigation it was found with Farook he had plotted an attack three years ago but later abandoned the idea of any such. Lawyers involved in the case said they were unaware of a direct connection.
