GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - A jury found Mike Torres-Zuniga guilty of premeditated murder Monday. He and another man, 22-year-old Jeremy Lopez, killed 17-year-old Abelino Ramos in the driveway of a house on Shamrock in November 2008.
Lopez was convicted in August.
They both were sentenced to life in prison, Lopez on September 23 and Torres-Zuniga on October 7.
The night of the shooting, a witness told police he heard an argument and what sounded like a physical assault -- then gun shots.
A small white vehicle was seen leaving the area.
In April 2009, a teenager crashed his car into a telephone pole on Clyde Park Avenue near Grandville Avenue in Wyoming.
The 16-year-old driver called police to report the accident, then called back and confessed to killing Ramos. The teen was taken to a juvenile detention center. No formal charges ever were issued against the teen related to the homicide.
About 14 months after the shooting, Lopez and Torres-Zuniga were arrested and charged with the crime.
