Teen Guilty of Hate Crime in Ecuadorean’s Death

One of the six remaining defendants in the stabbing death of an immigrant from Ecuador recently pleaded guilty to gang assault as a hate crime. Jose Pacheco agreed on Wednesday to testify against the other defendants in the case. Dry-cleaning worker Marcelo Lucero was stabbed to death in November of last year.

Authorities say that seven teenagers went looking for a Latino victim. Another defendant pleaded guilty to conspiracy and hate crime charges last month, and also agreed to testify.
