A man convicted on Thursday in the shootings deaths of four people in McKinney was a member of the violent street gang Latin King Nation when he was growing up in Chicago, according to witness testimony.

Prosecution witnesses testified this morning as the punishment phase of Raul Cortez’s trial began in a Collin County courtroom.

Cortez was still using symbols and colors of the gang on his MySpace page at the time of his arrest in 2007, a McKinney police detective told the jury.

Jurors deliberated for six hours on Thursday before finding Cortez guilty of capital murder in the slayings of Rosa Barbosa, 46; her nephew, Matthew Barbosa, 25; and his friends Austin York, 18; and Matthew Self, 17. All four were shot inside Ms. Barbosa's home in 2004.

Cortez faces the death penalty.

Co-defendant Eddie Ray Williams, who was also a key prosecution witness, testified during the trial that the victims were killed by him and Cortez during a botched robbery plot.

Cortez told the jury he had nothing to do with the shootings.
