The Cook County jury deliberated about 2 ½ hours before finding Joshua Enriquez, 28, guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated battery in the May 3, 2009, crash that killed Gabriela Almanza, 22, and her friend Nichole Mijares, 19.
Prosecutors accused Enriquez of speeding after and deliberately ramming the victims’ Pontiac Grand Am after spotting them at a nearby gas station. His ex-girlfriend, Karina Paredes, was in the back seat of the Pontiac.
The other surviving victim, Maria Ortega, testified earlier this week that she was driving down Kedzie Avenue when she saw the lights from Enriquez’s truck suddenly glow brightly behind them as he accelerated and rammed their car. She said he bashed repeatedly into the rear of the Pontiac until smoke billowed and the car started to rattle and wheeze.
Panicked, Ortega tried to make a hard left turn into a driveway in Humboldt Park near Augusta Boulevard, but she lost control and the car slammed into a tree.
“The next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital,” Ortega, 24, testified Tuesday, crying and pausing to wipe her eyes with a tissue. Ortega needed more than 50 stitches to close gashes on her face and eye and also had surgery on her foot.
