The sentencings will be the final prosecutions in the 2018 killing that shocked the city.

Guzman was dragged out of a bodega and brutally murdered after the attackers mistakenly targeted him as a rival gang member.

Seven others are already serving prison time for murder and for orchestrating the attack.
