Coral Springs man convicted in 2011 murder of restaurant worker

A Coral Springs man was found guilty Wednesday of the 2011 killing of a restaurant worker whose body was surrounded by enough blood for investigators to piece together who committed the offense.

Kadian Andre Garfield Roper, 43, will learn his fate May 1, when Broward Circuit Judge Tim Bailey imposes his sentence. Life in prison is possible but not mandatory for the second-degree murder conviction. Bailey ordered a pre-sentencing investigation to determine the fairest possible sentence.
