Man gets life in murder of man killed in front of daughter
ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania man has been convicted of fatally shooting another man during a home invasion robbery as the victim's young daughter looked on.
A Lehigh County jury found Waldemar Rivera guilty of murder, burglary, robbery and conspiracy in the August 2017 slaying of 39-year-old Jermaine Taylor. The 22-year-old Allentown man was sentenced to life in prison plus 10 to 20 years.
Authorities say Rivera and another man entered the residence through a third-floor window, then let two other suspects in through the front door so they could all rob Taylor of money and drugs.
Taylor pulled his own handgun from a safe and fired a shot. Authorities say Rivera shot back, hitting Taylor four times.
