A jury has convicted a man of firing the shots that killed a teenager and paralyzed another in New Bedford more than five years ago, Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn III announced Thursday.

Kevin Edwards, of Fall River, was found guilty of murder, assault and battery, and gun-related charges in the death of 17-year-old Paul Callazo-Ruiz.

On Oct. 19, 2019, Callazo-Ruiz was shot in the back while walking along Ashley Boulevard with a 19-year-old friend. Callazo-Ruiz was pronounced dead in a backyard nearby, while the friend was left paralyzed by two bullets.
