A jury deliberated two hours before finding an Arizona man guilty of first-degree murder March 6 in the 2003 shooting of a Mission Beach man. Richard Cortel Moye, 30, will be sentenced April 18 for the March 18, 2003 slaying of Mshindi Ford, 33, who was killed during a robbery of money during a marijuana transaction. Moye faces 25 years to life for the murder, plus 25 years consecutively for use of a gun during a homicide, said Deputy District Attorney Chris Lindberg. Moye did not testify in the weeklong trial. He was arrested in May 2010. In a related development, Gerardo Soto, 31, of Arizona is awaiting a March 22 sentencing in the Ford case. Soto pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in May 2011. As a co-conspirator, Soto faces between eight years and four months to 13 years and four months in prison. According to witnesses, Moye went inside Ford’s home in 2003 and demanded money from a marijuana transaction. Ford resisted, and Moye shot him several times before grabbing a bag of cash. During his plea, Soto admitted he conspired with Moye to rob Ford and to setting up the meeting between Ford and Moye, but said he didn’t know Moye would kill Ford at the Dover Court home.
