(KNZA)--A St. Joseph. Missouri man has been found guilty of the shooting death of a former Troy man in August 2018, and the wounding of another man.
KQ2-TV reports a Buchanan County jury found Jessie Lee Nelson guilty Thursday of first-degree murder, first-degree assault and two counts of armed criminal action.
