Man found guilty in 2007 Colton homicide
A Grand Terrace man is expected to be sentenced in January after a jury found him guilty in the deadly shooting of 19-year-old Marvin Michael McLeod after he left a party in Colton last year.
Jurors found Andrew Robert Ramirez guilty of felony murder, during the commission of a robbery, in the shooting of McLeod as he left a party with a large group of people in the 600 block of West L Street, in Colton, in April 2007.
The verdicts were reached Tuesday in San Bernardino Superior Court, confirmed Supervising Deputy District Attorney Vic Stull.
The jury also found true a special allegation for the use a firearm as well as a special circumstance that the defendant intentionally killed Ramirez while an active member of a street gang.
Ramirez, 21, faces life in state prison, without the possibility of parole, when he is sentenced Jan. 2.
The defendant was arrested in mid-June when Colton police officers spotted him near Sixth and Congress streets and he ran. He was captured after a short foot chase.
