On April 15, 2011, a federal jury in the Texas Southern District of the U.S. District Court delivered a guilty verdict against Guillermo-Herbert, a 35-year-old defendant from Houston, Texas. The charges were linked to a 2010 shooting incident in which Guillermo-Herbert was accused of attempting to kill a 28-year-old man at a local bar.
Prosecutors presented evidence suggesting that Guillermo-Herbert, who had a history of run-ins with the law, had gotten into an altercation at the bar with the victim. The incident escalated into a violent confrontation where Guillermo-Herbert allegedly pulled out a gun and fired multiple shots, nearly striking the victim. The victim miraculously survived, but a bystander was injured in the crossfire.
The jury deliberated for three hours before returning the guilty verdict. Guillermo-Herbert was subsequently convicted of one count of attempted murder and one count of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. The defendant’s guilty verdict was handed down nearly a year after the incident.
Although specific details of the sentencing were not immediately available, experts speculate that Guillermo-Herbert could face up to 25 years in prison and a possible fine of $500,000.
