Jose Antonio Ibarra, the Venezuelan citizen accused of killing Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, was found guilty of murder by a judge in a case that became a flashpoint in the immigration debate ahead of the presidential election.

Ibarra, 26, was convicted on three counts of felony murder and counts of malice murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, aggravated assault with intent to rape, and “peeping Tom.” He faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
