ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) - Jurors have convicted a 25-year-old man in a killing in Roswell last year.

Jesse Servantez Hernandez was convicted Friday after jurors deliberated about two hours.

No sentencing date has been set.

He was accused of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Jose Miguel Chavez.

Roswell police who were sent to a home last June 14 found Chavez wounded. He was taken to a hospital, where he died.

Hernandez was taken into custody two days later.
