A Lubbock jury found Albert Martinez guilty of the 1996 capital murder of Eva Garcia on Thursday.

The jury took less than an hour to make their decision.

Martinez was arrested in 2005 on DNA evidence that linked him to the crime scene.

Martinez will serve a mandatory life sentence that is set to begin immediately.
