Three life terms for man convicted of shooting landlord

Sunday, June 4, 2000 | 8:39 a.m.

Washoe District Judge Brent Adams handed down the sentence Friday to Raymond Rosas, who admitted to fatally shooting Homer Stockmann, 44.

In April, a jury found Rosas guilty of first-degree murder, murder with the use of a deadly weapon and kidnapping, each of which carries a life sentence.

Earlier last week, Adams sentenced Cecele Linton, 18, to life in prison for her role in the slaying. She pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the case.

At his trial, Rosas testified he had taken a room in Stockmann's house a few months before the killing and considered him a friend.

But Rosas said Stockmann later turned on him and "disrespected him."
