Three men have been found guilty of a violent crime spree committed two years ago. In October of 2015, Jose Luna and two brothers both named Felix Ayala engaged in a series of crimes targeting marijuana, guns and cash. They murdered 61-year-old Bradley Stephen Yoder at his house on Shasta View Drive, attempted a robbery with a shot fired at a Shasta Lake home, and posed as federal agents to rob the Bare Roots Hydroponics Store on East Cypress Avenue. The men were found guilty by a Shasta County jury on Tuesday of all 35 felony counts against them, including special allegations. Another defendant in the case, 19-year-old Elionaid Rivera, hanged himself in Shasta County Jail in November. He had already taken a plea deal, after which he confessed to slashing Yoder’s throat. A fifth defendant, 31-year-old Sergio Martinez, will be tried separately.
