The jury found Eddie Rosas, 38, guilty on May 26 in Kings County Superior Court in the case involving the death of Rudy Mendez, a Corcoran resident, according to the Kings County Sheriff’s Office.
In addition to first-degree murder, Rosas was convicted of assault with a firearm and carrying a loaded firearm in a public place. Jurors also found true an allegation that Rosas personally and intentionally discharged a firearm, causing Mendez’s death.
The court separately found true that Rosas had a prior strike conviction from 2007.

Rosas is scheduled to be sentenced June 29. He faces a sentence of 75 years to life in state prison, authorities said.
