BOLIVAR, Tenn. (AP) — A West Tennessee jury has convicted a man of murder in the killing of his former girlfriend almost six years ago.

The Jackson Sun reported the conviction on Thursday of 34-year-old Jose Luiz Vizcaino-Ramos in the March 2004 murder of Mary Graves in Hardeman County.

A judge at the trial in Bolivar sentenced Vizcaino-Ramos to life in prison.

Vizcaino-Ramos lived in Bolivar when Graves was shot a half-dozen times in front of her home, between Bolivar and Hornsby. He fled to Mexico and it took six months to extradite him last year.
