Joseph Alliniece
A jury found a Texas man guilty of first-degree murder and three other counts Monday afternoon in Cleveland County District Court.
The jury gave its decision to the court in the case of Joseph Fidel Alliniece, 32, of Missouri City, Texas, after about 90 minutes of deliberation. He was found guilty of the murder of Norman resident Brittani Young, 27, two counts of kidnapping and robbery by force or fear on April 24, 2018.
According to reports, Norman police responded shortly after Young's death inside a residence at the Emerald Greens Apartments. Alliniece had fled the scene, and a search ensued. That night, Alliniece was found and arrested by Oklahoma City Police Department officers, then brought to Norman for questioning.
