A Houston man has been sentenced to life in prison for his role in a racketeering scheme that involved the attempted assassination of an Austin state district judge.
Chimene Hamilton Onyeri attempted to kill 390th State District Judge Julie Kocurek, whom Onyeri believed was going to sentence him to prison, by shooting her while she sat in her car outside her Austin home after she returned home from a Friday night high school football game in 2015.
Three years later, a federal jury convicted Onyeri of one count of conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act statue, one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, seven counts of aggravated identity theft and six counts of witness tampering.
