Terrance Mack, 30, was convicted in connection with the September 2007 stabbing and beating death of Latasha Shaw. Officers said a group of people attacked Shaw in Rochester after she confronted some women who assaulted her daughter earlier in the day. Mack is scheduled to be sentenced on June third. His cousin, Ebony Mack, is charged with Shaw's murder. Her trial begins in July.A witness to the attack identified Terrance Mack as being in the crowd when Shaw was killed, testimony prosecutors say was key to the case."Her identification of the defendant was solid," said Monroe County Assistant District Attorney Sandra Doorley. "She had the opportunity to see him before hand, she saw him clearly during the fight as she he was the forerunner, he was the one leading the gang, she could clearly see his face and the jury relied on that testimony obviously."Shaw's father Robert Grayson says he's happy with the outcome. "I'm very happy with the verdict. I'm feeling a little better but I'll feel better when I find out what's going on with the sentence that he's going to get." Mack is scheduled to be sentenced on June third. His cousin, Ebony Mack, is charged with Shaw's murder. Her trial begins in July.

"These were people who said 'screw it' - this is our war and we're going to bring it to your streets." After the shooting, the Oak Park gang members dumped the dying Perkins out of one of their vehicles and left him to die, Ortiz said."He was left on a sidewalk to die by his homeboys," the prosecutor said.
