Jury Convicts Man In Shooting That Happened Near Playground

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — A Rochester man has been found guilty of murder in the fatal shooting of another man near a Rochester playground on a summer afternoon.

Monroe County prosecutors say 40-year-old Adalberto Marrero faces 25 years to life in prison following his conviction Monday in county court.

A jury found Marrero guilty of second-degree murder and weapons possession in the death of 23-year-old Jonathan Padilla in August 2015. Padilla was shot three times outside the David Gantt Recreation Center.

Marrero will be sentenced Dec. 1.
