A Gainesville man convicted of shooting a man six times on suspicion of an affair with his girlfriend will have his appeal heard Monday by the Supreme Court of Georgia. A jury found Hugo Moguel Tepanca guilty of malice murder and felony murder in April 2010 for the April 2008 slaying of Jose Sanchez-Vargas, a man Tepanca thought was romantically involved with his girlfriend, Alicia Hernandez. He received a life sentence plus five years, which is now being appealed to the state Supreme Court.
