Pontiac— Two men charged in the June 17 fatal shooting of a West Bloomfield Township man outside a Southfield motel were both found guilty by separate juries today.
Kevin Huffman. 28, and James Randle. 35, both of Detroit, were found guilty by separate juries in the first-degree murder of Venkata Cattamanchi. 35, slain outside the Ez-Ee Rest Motel on Telegraph Road where he had gone with a prostitute he met on the Internet.
Court testimony revealed how Cattamanchi had arranged a meeting with Jessica Ermatinger. 23, of Canton through an online ad but instead she and the two men decided to rob him at the motel where they were supposed to go for sex. Cattamanchi was shot twice when he attempted to flee the two men, investigators said.
Ermatinger and the getaway driver, Lynn Coggins, of Oak Park, had earlier pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Cattamanchi's death.
