A Marin County jury has convicted an alleged gang leader in the deadly attack on a Novato High School student nearly seven years ago.
The jury found Edenilson Misael Alfaro guilty of one count of murder, one count of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated mayhem. The mayhem charge refers to dismemberment or permanent disfigurement.The verdict Wednesday afternoon capped a trial phase that started with opening statements on Sept. 30 and included testimony from nearly three dozen people, including Alfaro. He acknowledged being at the crime scene but denied personally killing the student, Edwin Ramirez Guerra.
“We had an amazing jury,” said Deputy District Attorney Geoff Iida, the trial prosecutor. “They committed over six months of their lives to this case.” The crimes occurred in May 2016 at the waterfall near the end of Fairway Drive in Novato. The prosecution alleged that Alfaro and other defendants lured the victims to the site for a gang ambush.
