CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) - A Floyd County jury on Wednesday found a Waterloo man guilty of the 2017 shooting death of a Grundy Center.
Armando Adame III was convicted of first-degree murder and a weapons count for the Oct. 25, 2017, shooting death of 27-year-old Michael Bruce Johns, the Courier reported. Investigators said the men had been arguing as they drove around Floyd County when they stopped on a gravel road. Adame then pulled Johns from the vehicle and shot him in the head with a sawed-off shotgun, police said. Johns was reported missing the next day, and his body was found several weeks later at a rural intersection about 10 miles (16.1 kilometers) south of Charles City.
Adame, who is already serving a 25-year sentence after pleading guilty in 2018 to federal firearms charges in a separate case, faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole for Johns’ death when he’s sentenced at a later date.
