POMONA – A Pomona jury has convicted a 29-year-old man of stealing a sport-utility vehicle then leading police on a high-speed chase that ended in a fatal collision last June.

Deputy District Attorney T.D. Pham of the Pomona Branch Office said the jury on Friday found Luis Miguel Noriega guilty of all charges, including second-degree murder, evading an officer causing death, leaving the scene of an accident, unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle and receiving stolen property.

Noriega was driving a stolen sport-utility vehicle when he ran a red light and collided with a sedan driven by Walter Williams, 37. The June 18, 2010 accident at the intersection of Ramona Boulevard and Francisquito Avenue in Baldwin Park killed Williams, a counselor at a Baldwin Park youth facility.  Noriega returns to Pomona Superior Court on Aug. 18 for sentencing before Judge Tia Fisher. He faces 23 years to life in prison.
