July 11, 2024 - Florida. Julio Rivera sentenced to death
In January, a Volusia County jury found now 52-year-old Julio Rivera guilty of 1st-degree murder. Those same jurors then voted 8-4 to recommend Rivera be put to death for the December 8, 2019 murder of his childhood friend, Roberto Ovalle.
Investigators say Rivera “felt disrespected” by his friend after some time, then pulled out a gun and shot him in the back of the head.
Investigators say Rivera admitted in a recorded jail call that he was the shooter.
On Thursday afternoon a judge agreed with the jury’s recommendation and sentenced Rivera to death for his murder conviction.
