MIAMI – A Miami jury has found a man guilty of shooting and killing a bicyclist on the Rickenbacker Causeway in August 2019.

Kadel Piedrahita was accused of shooting and killing Alex Palencia during an early morning ride on the Rickenbacker Causeway.

Video from a GoPro camera attached to Sosa’s bicycle recorded what happened.

Police say Piedrahita was riding his motorcycle next to a group of bicyclists when a scuffle ensued and he shot Palencia. Piedrahita claimed it was self-defense, but prosecutors said a feud had developed days earlier.

Piedrahita was charged with second-degree murder and had pleaded not guilty.
