A Centralia, IL man was found guilty Friday of second-degree murder in connection with an August 2015 shooting that left Dustin Rhynes of Centralia dead.
Reports from Marion County said a Marion County Jury deliberated for about an hour and a half Friday before finding Ricky Norwood guilty of second-degree murder. The verdict came following three days of testimony and closing arguments on Friday. Rhynes was found dead in an alleyway, from a single gunshot wound. The case went unresolved for several years, until Norwood was indicted by a Marion County Grand Jury in March of 2022.
Sentencing of Norwood is set for June 25th. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
