(Editor’s note: This story originally published at The Palm Beach Post , part of the USA TODAY Network.) WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — It took nearly five years for a Boynton Beach man to go to trial in the fatal shooting of an MMA fighter . It took a jury less than three hours to find him guilty. Jurors deliberated for about two-and-a-half hours Tuesday afternoon before finding Roberto Ortiz guilty of first-degree murder and two counts of home invasion robbery in the July 2017 death of 25-year-old Aaron Rajman . Circuit Court Judge Howard Coates initially sentenced Ortiz to three consecutive life terms, but vacated the decision Wednesday and ordered a pre-sentence investigation. Ortiz is now scheduled to be sentenced in October
