EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A West Texas man has been found guilty of manslaughter for his role in a 2012 traffic collision that killed a state trooper.

Twenty-one-year-old Edgardo Flores of El Paso is scheduled to be sentenced Monday in the death of trooper Javier Arana Jr.

The jury Friday acquitted Flores of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Prosecutors say Flores drove through a red light in March 2012 and his pickup collided with Arana’s patrol car. The trooper died at the scene.

Prosecutors acknowledged during closing arguments that Arana contributed to the accident by also running a red light while on his way to a call.

But they argued Flores admitted to investigators that he drove through the light and was a reason the collision occurred.
