Alex Lopez Trial: Jury reaches verdict : Full

A Lake County jury reached a verdict on Wednesday in the trial of Alex Lopez, who was accused of shooting Raied "Ray" Shihadeh during a robbery at the M&M Food Mart in Leesburg in May 2024. Surveillance video from the store showed a man walking into the store and shooting Shihadeh, who was on FaceTime with his wife at the time. The man is then seen hopping over the counter before fleeing the store, according to authorities. Shihadeh, a father of five, died from his injuries after being taken to a hospital. Lopez evaded police for weeks before he was arrested in June 2024 at a hotel in Osceola County. A jury convicted Lopez of murder and robbery.
