A San Francisco man was convicted this week in the death of his elderly roommate who was beaten with a bat and lit on fire in an attack 'partially captured on Zoom.'
Min Jian Guan, 63, was convicted earlier this week by a jury on charges of first-degree murder and elder abuse in the June 2020 death of Yu Quin Sun, 79.
Guan was arrested at the time after police said he beat his elderly roommate with a baseball bat before lighting her on fire while others watched through Zoom.
'The beating was partially captured on Zoom and seen by a witness participating in a virtual class with the victim who reported seeing the victim get knocked down and hit,' the San Francisco City Attorney's Office said in a statement.
Guan faces a sentence of 25 years to life at his June 16 sentencing hearing.
The motive remains unknown at this time.
