BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — A jury has found Adula Andrew Harris of Bakersfield guilty of second degree murder in a domestic violence case that left a grandfather dead in front of his grandchildren.

Prosecutors say Harris shot and killed Ever Florez in July after Florez tried to protect his daughter from Harris. Harris had been arguing with the woman, who is the mother of his children, when Florez intervened.

Harris then shot Florez dead while the victim's grandchildren witnessed the murder.

Harris faces up to 66 years to life in prison when he is sentenced in January.
