Prosecutors argued during a seven-day jury trial that Remi Cordova opened fire after a minor crash and killed Pamela Cabriales in an attempt to earn status within the Eastside Crips gang.

A Denver teenager killed a woman with an AR-15-style rifle three years ago after a fender-bender, when he was 14 years old, jurors found Friday.

Cordova’s defense attorneys sought to shift blame to another 14-year-old boy in the car and suggested that boy falsely named Cordova as the shooter in an attempt to avoid his own arrest. Cordova stepped out of the car with an AR-15-style rifle, aimed at Cabriales’ SUV and pulled the trigger, prosecutors said. The safety on the gun was on, though, so he had to lower the weapon, take off the safety and then open fire again, they said.

“The motivation here comes from a desire to rise up through the ranks of the gang world,” he told jurors. “It’s unfortunate that is how that world works.”
