An Auburn man has been found guilty of killing a Massachusetts man and a Lewiston teenager at a Poland home.
It took a jury less than two hours on Tuesday to find 47-year-old Aaron Aldrich guilty, according to the Sun Journal.
Aldrich shot and killed 16-year-old Mohamed Aden of Lewiston and 21-year-old Shoeb Mohamed Adan of Springfield, Massachusetts, in February 2023.
The victims were found dead at a home on Tripp Lake Road in Poland during a welfare check.
Aden was a student at Lewiston High School.
During the trial, Aldrich claimed he killed the pair in self-defense. However, according to the Sun Journal, prosecutors said Aldrich targeted his victims, aiming to kill and rob them. Aldrich reportedly bragged about his actions afterward.
Aldrich could face 25 years to life for each count.
He is expected to be sentenced in November.
