Preston Strong, suspect in the La Mesa Street Murders, guilty of first degree murder; all six counts

A jury has found 50-year-old Preston Strong, the man accused of murdering a family of six, guilty of first-degree murder on all six counts.

The family was killed in 2005.

Strong did not have a reaction once the verdict was read.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, and the jury will begin considering Strong’s eligibility Friday .

“The motives go beyond money, there is a hatred in him. There is a rage in him,” Prosecutor Karolyn Kaczorowski told the jury at the beginning of closing arguments last Monday.

Prosecutors’ last words to the jury were that Strong’s greed and jealousy drove him to murdering the family.

Eight women and 4 men were randomly selected, from 17 members left in the jury, to deliberate in the La Mesa Street Murders trial.

In 2005, Luis Rios, 35, his girlfriend Adrienne Heredia , 29, and her four children; Andreas Crawford, 13; Enrique Bedoya , 12; Inez Newman, 9; and Danny Heredia III, 6, were murdered at their home.
