CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — Mexican judges have found four men guilty of killing 15 people in a border city massacre that shocked Mexico and prompted President Felipe Calderon to escalate federal involvement in the region.

The victims of what became known as the Villa Salvarcar massacre were mainly teenagers at a birthday party in a working-class part of Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas. Eight others were wounded in the January 2010 attack.

The three judges will sentence Juan Alfredo Soto, Aldo Fabio Hernandez, Jose Dolores Arroyo and Heriberto Martinez on Monday. Prosecutors are seeking more than 100 years in prison each.

Other suspects remain at large.

The verdict was reached Thursday.
