A jury just found Latin Kings gang member Christian “King Joker”
Almonte guilty of first degree murder in Superior Court.
Almonte, 26, was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
He was found guilty of murdering his secret lover Willie Escobar, a
41-year-old Methuen delivery man, stabbing him more than 20 times on Feb. 24, 2008.
It took the jury a little less than seven hours to come to the verdict.
