A southeastern Nebraska jury on Friday returned guilty verdicts against a man accused of murdering his cousin. The Richardson County jury found Desiderio Hernandez guilty on all counts.

Hernandez was charged with first-degree murder, using a firearm to commit a felony and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. As, we reported earlier, the charges stem from an incident at a Falls City home in August of 2015 in which Joseph Debella, Jr., 31, was fatally shot.

The 35-year-old defendant then fled to Horton, Kansas, where he was arrested after an hours-long standoff with police.

Hernandez remains behind bars awaiting sentencing early next year.
