A former Border Patrol agent accused of shooting his estranged wife’s boyfriend in El Paso was found guilty Tuesday of attempted capital murder and one count of continuos family violence, the Associated Press reports.
Alberto Montelongo, 41, is expected to be sentenced today and faces up to 99 years in prison.
Police said Montelongo shot his wife’s boyfriend in the head after getting into an altercation with the couple.
The man survived, and Montelongo took him and his wife hostage, prompting a standoff with El Paso police.
