OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) -- An Oklahoma City mother is facing life in prison after being convicted of murdering her 8-month-old son and stabbing two other people.
In July 2016, police say 21-year-old Raven Veloz stabbed her ex-boyfriend Sergio Garcia, their 8-month-old son Ezekiel Veloz, and her 4-year-old daughter Sophia.
Authorities say she then stabbed herself several times.
Veloz, Garcia and Sophia were all rushed to the hospital. Tragically, 8-month-old Ezekiel didn't survive his injuries.
Garcia said that he woke up to her stabbing him with a knife.
When emergency crews arrived on the scene, they found the victims suffering from stab wounds to their chests.
Raven Veloz was ultimately charged with one count of first-degree murder and two counts of assault and battery with a deadly weapon.
On May 30, an Oklahoma County jury found Veloz guilty of all of the charges and recommended a sentence of life in prison.
Veloz will be officially sentenced on August 21.
