A jury on Tuesday convicted Yvonne Serrano of second-degree murder and tampering with evidence in the killing of 21-year-old Daniela Tabares Maya in Coral Springs.
The jury deliberated for less than three days before finding Serrano, 56, guilty of killing Maya in November 2019 after the two spent time with a group of friends at World of Beer in Coconut Creek.
Serrano and Maya were part of a large group of friends who attended the same gym, Training for Warriors in Coral Springs. They went out to see a movie and socialize at World of Beer before Maya gave Serrano a ride back to Serrano’s Coral Springs home.
According to police, Serrano shot Maya, also of Coral Springs, with a 9-millimeter Sig Sauer P365 pistol. Serrano had a concealed carry permit, and police later found the weapon in her bedroom.
Serrano was also convicted of tampering with evidence because she deleted footage from her RING doorbell camera from the time of the killing.
Serrano’s sentencing is scheduled for August 12. She faces up to life in prison for her crimes.
