June 04, 2014 Convicted Tuesday of the 2009 stabbing deaths of three members of his ex-fiance Amanda Engelhardt's family in their Hoffman Estates home, D'Andre Howard faces mandatory life in prison when he is sentenced, possibly as soon as July 9. Jurors took just 98 minutes to find Howard guilty of first-degree murder in the deaths Amanda's sister Laura, 18; their father Alan, 57; and their maternal grandmother Marlene Gacek, 73. Jurors also found Howard guilty of the attempted murder of Shelly Engelhardt, Amanda and Laura's mother and Alan's wife. Seriously wounded during the rampage that unfolded early on April 17, 2009, Shelly Engelhardt testified against Howard, whose lawyers argued he was legally insane at the time of the murders.
