A jury Monday convicted Marco Garcia-Bravo of a single count of accessory to murder in the 2017 killings of two Colorado Springs teenagers but failed to reach an accord on whether he was guilty of murder in their execution-style killings.
Fourth Judicial District Judge David A. Shakes ordered Garcia-Bravo, of Colorado Springs, to appear in court Thursday to schedule a new trial on seven unresolved charges, including four counts of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree kidnapping. Garcia-Bravo is accused of serving as one of two triggermen in the March 2017 killings of 16-year-old Natalie Cano-Partida and 15-year-old Derek Greer, both students at Coronado High School.
