A Miami Correctional facility inmate has been convicted of a 2020 attack on a correctional officer.

Raul Soleto, 67, is serving a life sentence with the possibility of parole for the September 1973 murder of a 12-year-old Lake County girl whose nude body was found in a cemetery. Sotelo was 18 at the time of the girl’s slaying.

On July 1, 2020, Soleto attacked Officer Mackenzie Malott with a homemade weapon made from a razor blade wrapped with cardboard.  The attack left a permament five inch scar on the officer's face.  Soleto also tried to slash the officer's abdomen.

A Miami County jury found Sotelo guilty of attempted murder, battery with bodily injury to a public safety officer and other charges.

He will be sentenced on May 4.
