A BC Supreme Court judge has found gangster Michael Newman guilty of first-degree murder.
Marc Rozen was shot and stabbed multiple times during a botched robbery at his West End apartment building back in 2004.
The 38-year-old had been trying through local newspapers to sell a valuable engagement ring, which was never recovered.
Newman, a member of the U-N gang, wasn't arrested and charged until five years later.
The judge says d-n-a and footprint evidence were key in the trial.
Newman is set to be sentenced tomorrow.
