1 Dublin Resident Sentenced, Another To Stand Trial In San Francisco Strip Club Manager Killing

Asia Morton was sentenced to one year in jail; Richard Lund's murder trial is scheduled to begin Friday.

DUBLIN, CA — A Dublin woman was sentenced to one year in jail after pleading no contest to being an accessory in the 2025 killing of Mark Calcagni, general manager of the San Francisco topless bar the Condor Club. The trial of Dublin resident Richard Lund on multiple charges related to the killing, including murder, is set to begin Friday at Sonoma County Superior Court.

On Aug. 14, Asia Morton was sentenced to one year in jail and one year of mandatory supervision. Prosecutors alleged that she helped her boyfriend at the time, Richard Lund, by helping him secure two vehicles and communicating with him around the time of the shooting. She was arrested at San Francisco International Airport in October 2025 after returning from international travel.

Morton’s attorney requested electronic monitoring or work release, according to a report from the Press Democrat. Prosecutors argued that a letter that she wrote showed minimal remorse, and the judge agreed. Her attorney said the limited expression of remorse was based on his legal advice.
