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.
