5 convicted in killing of Puerto Rico government official

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – A jury in Puerto Rico has found five people guilty in the killing of a government official and two of his daughters during a drive-by shooting more than a decade ago.

Authorities say the men confused the victim’s car with that of another person when they fired shots at it in December 2004. Antonio Barcelo Jimenez was an attorney who worked as a government advocate for children. His daughters were Yajaira Barcelo Segarra and Laura Barcelo Rosario.

Puerto Rico’s Justice Department said late Wednesday that the killers are scheduled to be sentenced in August.
