Pamela Cabriales, 32, was shot while stopped at a light at Colfax Avenue and Interstate 25 in February 2021.

A Denver jury convicted a teenager of first-degree murder in connection with the fatal shooting of a woman who was killed after a minor traffic collision in 2021.

Remi Cordova, who was 14 when the shooting happened, was convicted Friday on three counts related to the death of Pamela Cabriales: second-degree murder, first-degree murder- extreme indifference, and attempted first-degree murder. Jurors deliberated for several days before returning the verdict around 11:30 a.m. Friday morning.

Cabriales, 32, was shot while stopped at a light at Colfax Avenue and Interstate 25 in February 2021. She died several days later and left behind a 5-year-old son.

The trial for Remi Cordova began on Oct. 21. His co-defendant, Neshan Johnson has already been convicted and was sentenced to 35 years in prison in July 2023.

According to court documents, the two teens thought Cabriales had tapped their car from behind at a red light. Police alleged that Cordova jumped out of a car with a gun and fired multiple rounds into a vehicle driven by Cabriales.

Johnson said, according to the court documents, that Cordova asked, “Can I bust on them?” to which Johnson replied, “Do what you gotta do, that’s on you.”

Johnson told police Cordova then got out of the car with an “AR15 and fired 15-20 shots into the car behind them,” according to court documents.

Cordova was initially charged as a juvenile, but the case was later moved to adult court despite his age at the time of the alleged crime. He is set to be sentenced at 1 p.m. on Dec. 12.
