NEW YORK (AP) – A bouncer already sentenced to life in prison for two Brooklyn murders has been convicted of shooting another man dead and wounding three others outside a Manhattan nightclub.

A jury found 32-year-old Stephen Sakai (Suh-KY’) guilty Friday of murder, attempted murder and assault. He again faces life in prison at his sentencing, set for Dec. 15.

Sakai testified he feared he would die during a fight outside Chelsea’s Opus 22 club in May 2006. Sakai said he took a gun off one of the four and started firing.

The shooting stemmed from Sakai’s argument with one victim who insisted on waiting for his girlfriend to return from the ladies’ room after the club had closed.

The incident left one dead, another paralyzed from the chest down and two with less serious wounds.
