Jose Ibarra has been found guilty of all charges in the Laken Riley murder case

Jose Ibarra, the illegal immigrant and Tren de Aragua gang member accused of the brutal murder of 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley, was found guilty of all charges Wednesday in an Athens, Georgia courtroom.

Judge Patrick Haggard handed down guilty verdicts on a series of charges and returned to court just 19 minutes after the prosecution and defense presented their closing arguments.

Sobs filled the room as the verdicts were read, the Riley family held hands and cried as Ibarra sat motionless in the courtroom.
