RILEY, Circuit Judge.

After a jury convicted Fabio Montano (Montano) of conspiracy to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(A), and 846, the district court 1 sentenced Montano to 405 months’ imprisonment. On appeal, Montano contends (1) the district court erred in admitting evidence concerning a murder committed in furtherance of the conspiracy, and (2) insufficient evidence supports the conviction. We affirm.
