It took a jury less than two hours to convict a 14-year-old boy of murder Wednesday.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – It took a jury less than two hours to convict a 14-year-old boy of murder Wednesday.
Police say in 2023, somebody stole Sydney Wilson’s car. She tracked it to a gas station on Coors and Central, and found a group of teens in the car.
Marcos Barela got out and shot and killed Wilson. Because of his age, he will probably be sent to a juvenile facility until he’s 21.
Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman said in a statement Wednesday:
“This was an absolute senseless tragedy, with the culprit being a juvenile with a gun. It ruined so many lives. This crime should never have happened. We hope today’s verdict brings Sydney’s family some sense of justice.”
