WEST PALM BEACH — A judge has sentenced a Riviera Beach man to 10 years in state prison after the man pleaded guilty to charges related to the 2017 murder of mixed martial arts fighter Aaron Rajman . Cameron Burgess-Clark, 28, pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree murder and two counts of armed home invasion robbery during a plea hearing Thursday before Circuit Court Judge Howard Coates. Burgess-Clark was of the one of six people arrested in the July 3, 2017, fatal shooting of Rajman and is one of five to either plead guilty or be convicted at trial. Roberto Ortiz, who was found guilty of first-degree murder in August, is scheduled to be sentenced this month. Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office investigators said Rajman was shot during a fight that started after several people entered his suburban Boca Raton home that night. An indictment charging Burgess-Clark with first-degree murder in 2019 said that swords, marijuana, narcotics, a scale and money were stolen from the residence south of Palmetto Park Road in what appeared to be a targeted home invasion.
