Jurors convicted 20-year-old Marcus Wheeler on Monday of second-degree murder. Prosecutors say he killed 21-year-old Kay Nelson on April 18 last year.
Prosecutors say Wheeler shot Nelson as she sat in the driver’s seat of her vehicle and her 2-year-old son sat in a car seat in the back. Police say he had been fighting in the parking lot with a brother of Nelson’s new boyfriend before grabbing a gun and shooting her.
