Sister of Nikko Jenkins guilty in 2 robberies

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The sister of a man convicted of killing four Omaha residents in August 2013 has been found guilty of helping rob two of the men.

A jury convicted 24-year-old Erica Jenkins of two counts of robbery Monday but failed to agree whether she was guilty of conspiring to commit the robberies.

The charges are connected to the Aug. 11, 2013, killings of Juan Uribe-Pena and Jorge Cajiga-Ruiz in a south Omaha park.

Prosecutors say Erica Jenkins and her cousin lured the men to the park with a promise of sex, but Nikko Jenkins met them in the part and robbed and killed both men.

Nikko Jenkins has also been convicted of killing Curtis Bradford and Andrea Kruger during a 10-day period last year shortly after he was released from prison.
