An Alameda County man is facing a potential life sentence after being charged in a violent domestic attack. Guillermo Renderos, 34, stands accused of assaulting and stabbing his wife while she held their child, as announced by Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price. The incident is reported to have occurred in Castro Valley last Thursday.

Renderos is charged with multiple offenses, including premeditated attempted murder and kidnapping. According to the criminal complaint, Renderos allegedly forced his wife and baby into his truck before physically attacking his wife and then stabbing her with a sharp object. The charges also include an enhancement for using a deadly weapon and another for inflicting great bodily injury. 

As the case unfolds, Renderos's potential sentence ranges from 14 years and five months up to life in state prison, contingent on whether he is convicted of all charges. As noted by the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, the details of the complaint laid out a chilling account of the events that led to his arrest.

The pre-trial hearing for Renderos is quickly scheduled for November 12, where he will appear in Department 115 at the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse in Oakland.
