A Delano street gang member has been found guilty of first-degree murder. 23-year-old Jose Medrano faces life without parole for the shooting death last August of Orlando Morales, who was first believed to have died in a crash when his car slammed into a building on 11th Avenue in Delano. A co-defendant pleaded no contest in October and testified that Madrano was the shooter against a rival gang member.
