Pinoy Store Clerk’s Murderer in Canada Found Guilty

On May 1, one of the three suspects, Colton Steinhauer (30y/o), was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder. The verdict comes with a  life sentence. The judge will make the final decision on whether Steinhauer should serve his sentences consecutively or concurrently. Sentencing will be in early September.

The three drove to another Mac’s store where Cenabre works at. They robbed and assaulted the Pinoy immigrant and then Steinhauer shot him which killed him.
