Anthony Roman Marquez admitted taking part in the deadly shooting of 20-year-old Diego Diaz, at a Fontana party organized by party crews, during court proceedings Tuesday.

Marquez pleaded guilty to one count of assault with a deadly weapon, not a firearm or force, under the terms of a plea bargain, during his appearance in Fontana Superior Court. He was orginally being held on a murder charge.

Diaz was shot Oct. 28, 2007 while on the dance floor at a party organized by various dance crews at a residence in the 8000 block of Alder Avenue. Shots were fired about 12:30 a.m. when a fight involving up to 30 people broke out on the dance floor, Fontana Sgt. Jeff Decker said in an earlier interview.
Police conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle and found Diaz inside, suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest.

Marquez is scheduled to return to court Sept. 30 for sentencing. He was released on his own recognizance pending sentencing, according to court records.

Marquez, 20, a suspected member of "Another Latin Crew" gang, was arrested in March at a Rialto residence on Avenida Carmel, police said.
