Overview

• Jose Antonio Echeverria, 28, and Dallas Stone Pineda, 27, were found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances of lying in wait and multiple victims.
• Prosecutors said recordings captured the defendants describing the crimes to an undercover jailhouse operative, with evidence showing one victim was shot and both were bludgeoned.
• Investigators described the attack as gang-motivated, saying Briana Nicole Gallegos, 17, and Gabriela Calzada, 19, were lured to a secluded area of Ernest E. Debs Regional Park.
• Jurors restarted deliberations twice after a juror was replaced and returned verdicts in about three hours.
• Sentencing is set for Dec. 11, when both face potential life without parole, though Pineda may later be eligible for parole because he was under 18 at the time of the murders.
