"I appreciate the jury's patience while hearing a long and complicated case," District Attorney Paul Tucker said in a statement. "The truth prevailed and I hope it brings some relief to Noe's family and those injured in this intentional and unjustified attack."
In total, prosecutors said the jury found Berberena and Carlisle guilty of 13 charges each, including four counts of armed assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a firearm, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily harm.
The district attorney's office said two other men had been arrested in the case. Joshua Cespedes was sentenced to nine to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter last year. Elijah Fontes-Wilson of Lynn testified in the murder trial under a plea agreement and will plead guilty to charges of accessory before the fact and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, prosecutors said.
