A Renton man will be sentenced June 14 after a jury found him guilt in May of shooting to death a man and wounding three others at a Seattle bus stop in September 2011.

Say Keodara, 19, was charged with first-degree murder and first-degree assault when he tried to rob three homeless men at the bus shelter and became angry when they didn’t have any valuables or cash, according to King County prosecutors.

A woman who had been waiting for a bus was also wounded in the shooting.

All four charges include firearm sentencing enhancements. He was also convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm.

Keodara will face a sentence range of 78 to 98 years in prison, which includes the firearm enhancements. Sentencing is scheduled for 10 a.m. June 14 before Judge Laura Middaugh at the King County Courthouse.
