A jury convicted a man of first-degree murder Friday in the grisly death of a man who was found in his Maryland apartment with dozens of stab wounds and some of his organs removed, state prosecutors said.
A family member discovered Navarro at the apartment in the 14600 block of King Lear Court on Dec. 23.
Police said Morales-Caceres and Navarro knew each other.
Investigators said they tied Morales-Caceres to the murder from a bloody fingerprint and sneaker print he left at the scene.
Prosecutors called him a monster.
"When you have an individual that stabbed somebody 89 times and literally carved out his liver and placed it on the victim's body, it's a scary thing," said Ramón V. Korionoff, spokesperson for the Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office.
