Man convicted of 2nd-degree murder for Grand Island slaying

Ahmed Said

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — A 24-year-old man has been convicted of murder in Grand Island.

A jury deliberated less than five hours Monday before finding Ahmed Said guilty of second-degree murder. Court records say he fatally beat 41-year-old Abdulma Khamis on April 12 last year at Pioneer Park.

A portion of the crime was captured on security video from a nearby car dealership.

Said is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 28.
