Four convicted for 2013 murder in Dorchester

A Suffolk Superior Court jury today convicted Omar Bonner, Omar Denton, Andrew Robertson and Javaine Watson of first-degree murder for the shooting death of Romeo McCubbin, 25, on Havelock Street on Dec. 14, 2013, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports:

During two weeks of trial, Assistant District Attorney Ian Polumbaum introduced evidence and testimony proving that the defendants ambushed McCubbin as he sat in a vehicle on Havelock Street at about 1:45 am on Dec. 14, 2013. The evidence showed that Watson drove Robertson to the scene, where Robertson shot McCubbin repeatedly before Watson drove him away. McCubbin crawled out of his vehicle, at which point Bonner and Denton approached him on foot. Bonner shot McCubbin repeatedly and Denton kicked him as he lay dying on the ground. Bonner and Denton fled in a vehicle driven by Denton.

The verdict means a mandatory sentence of life without parole for the four.
