MIAMI (CBS4) ― Security guard Luis Brito was killed by a shot to the heart when he tried to protect a Coral Gables jewelry store from masked robbers in 2003. A Miami-Dade jury decided on Friday to find two men guilty in his murder.
CBS4 Peter D'Oench recalled how five years ago, four armed robbers entered a Mayor's jewelry store in Merrick Park, and surveillance video caught one of them shooting to death the guard.
The prosecutors nicknamed the men the "Rolex Robbers," claiming they planned to rob the store of tens of thousands of dollars of watches.
A witness said in court she saw the guard lying in his own blood after the robbery, which was corroborated by videotape showing the crime.
A total of four men were arrested in connection with the homicide-robbery; two men, Andre Williams and Shird Myrick, were outside the store, according to the prosecution, and convicted earlier this year.
Ehren Witt and Milton Hall, the two masked gunmen who were inside the store and allegedly killed Brito, were convicted of murder today and could face the death penalty.
