The man who was previously identified as Victor Rodriguez Flores, who shot his boss at the Millennium Alaskan Hotel in late October of 2011, still awaits his state trial for his crime. But, Flores, now known by his real name of Javier Martinez was convicted of 12 counts in Federal Court on Thursday.

Martinez was convicted by a federal jury today on one count of re-entry after deportation, five counts of making false claims of United States Citizenship, five counts of aggravated identity theft and one count of possession of a firearm by an illegal alien.

It was on October 29th , 2011 that Martinez, then known as Victor Rodriguez Flores shot his boss, Kerry Fadely, the manager of the Millenium Alaskan Hotel, multiple times killing her at the hotel after handing her a note that directed the hotel to sent his last paycheck to the Anchorage jail and also listed the reasons why he was unhappy working at that establishment. He still has not gone to trial for that murder. His true identity was revealed on November 9th of 2011.

Martinez used that stolen identity to gain an Alaska ID and employment at several Anchorage-area hotels, includint the Sheriton, Embassy Suites, Quality Inn and the Millenium Alaskan Hotel.

According to the Assistant U.S. Attorey prosecuting this federal case, Thomas C Bradley, Martinez was deported to the Dominican Republic from Miami in 1992, but would later re-enter the United States under a different name. According to authorities, he used the name of Victor Rodrigues Flores, a resident of Puerto Rico, to do so. Evidence at trial showed that his fingerprints matched thore of the person in the 1992 deportation. Martinez contested those charges by saying that he was never actually deported because he had slipped out the back of the plane before it departed however.

Two special agents with the Department of Homeland Security testified at trial that Martines had admitted to them that he had been deported in 1992. These same two agents also testified that Martinez stated that “it was easier to buy a firearm in Anchorage than to buy a pack of cigarettes or a six-pack of beer.”

As is true with convicted felons, addicts and fugitives from jsutice, illegal aliens are prohibited from possessing firearms.

Martinez faces up to 20 years of imprisonment on the reentry charge because he was deported following a felony drug trafficking conviction. He faces up to ten years on the firearms charge, five years on each of the false claim of citizenship charges, and a mandatory consecutive two years prison for the identity theft charges. Chief U.S. District Court Judge Ralph R. Beistline set the sentencing for August 27, 2013.

Martinez still hass the state murder trial to look forward to. That case is still in its pretrial hearing phase one year and seven months later.
