Overview
- A six-person Miami-Dade jury found Yosvanis Sierra Hernández guilty of soliciting first-degree murder and making written threats after less than two hours of deliberation.
- Jurors concluded he tried to recruit inmates to kill Damián Valdés Galloso, the man charged in the October 2024 killing of fellow artist El Taiger.
- Evidence presented included Instagram posts offering $20,000 and a year of commissary to carry out the attack, along with the song prosecutors translated as “stab him.”
- Under Florida law, a solicitation conviction does not require money to change hands or a killing to occur.
- Sentencing will be scheduled later as he has other open cases; he remains jailed at Metro West Detention Center and faces up to 15 years in prison.
