Kyle Zetina is Guilty of 2019 Triple Murders

At 9:16 a.m., in the courtroom of Justice Candace Nanton, Kyle Aswan Zetina was found guilty of three counts of murder in the brutal execution-style deaths of Excelsior High School Vice Principal, forty-four-year-old Alarice Andrewin, and her two friends, thirty-nine-year-old Vidal Antonio Yuman and nineteen-year-old Guatemalan national Maria Lucas. The tragic incident occurred at Andrewin’s home at Mile 10 1/2 on the George Price Highway on June third, 2019. Justice Nanton did not elaborate on how she reached her verdicts, stating she would provide her detailed decision in writing at a later date. When she announced the guilty verdicts, Zetina showed no visible reaction. Throughout the trial, which began in June 2024, Zetina chose to remain silent and offered no defense. Initially charged with twenty-five-year-old Shawn Flores, Zetina faced the trial alone after Flores was acquitted on June twenty-eighth, 2024, due to insufficient evidence linking him to the murders. The remaining evidence, including Zetina’s caution statement and testimonies from three hostile witnesses, pointed directly to Zetina. The prosecution was led by Crown Counsel Sheneiza Smith, while Zetina was defended by attorney Norman Rodriguez. Sentencing for Zetina has yet to be announced. Justice Nanton has ordered several reports, including a psychiatric evaluation, a social report, three victim impact statements, an antecedent history of Zetina, and a report from the Kolbe Foundation, before finalizing the sentence.
