ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The man behind multiple shootings at the homes of Democratic officials is expected to be sentenced this summer in federal court. Earlier this week, Solomon Peña, a former New Mexico Republican House candidate, was found guilty on 13 counts related to the shootings. House speaker Javier Martinez, who was the target of one of the shootings, said the conviction shows political violence has no place in New Mexico.
Peña is scheduled to be sentenced on July 2 at the Albuquerque federal courthouse. He is facing a life sentence.
