The five day trial of Omar Guerro ended May 31st when a jury found him guilty of murdering Moab resident Edgar Luna Najera, or “Rojo” in his Walnut Lane trailer home. In addition to the murder charge, Guerro was found guilty of one count of aggravated kidnapping and possessing a firearm as a restricted person. This verdict marked the conclusion of Moab’s first murder jury trial in 15 years, and also provided an ending to a case that began over six months ago, in the early morning hours of October 28th, 2018. Guerro will receive a sentence next week.
