Calgary man found guilty of second-degree murder in 2010 shooting death

Kyle Ledesma leaves Calgary court Sunday

A Calgary man has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the 2010 killing of a bartender.

Kyle Ledesma was convicted in connection to the shooting death of Dexter Bain back in 2010.

The 11-person jury delivered the guilty verdict Sunday afternoon after a four-week trial.

This is the second time Ledesma has heard the same verdict for the crime. In 2015, he was found guilty of second-degree murder but two years later, a retrial was ordered.

Bain’s mother, Kim Godin, hopes this is the last time both families have to go through the process.

“In a sense, she’s lost her son in a different way than I’ve lost mine,” Godin said. “She still gets to see her child but he will be in jail again.”

Ledesma has already served six and a half years of his original sentence.

He will be given an automatic life sentence, but what now must be determined is his parole ineligibility.
