(CBS DETROIT) - A Detroit man charged with fatally shooting another man in a card game was found guilty on Friday, the Michigan Attorney General's office announced.
Lashawn Wells, 46, was convicted of second-degree murder and one count of felony firearm. He faces a potential life sentence.
Officials say Wells shot and killed 41-year-old Marquell Scholar nine times following an altercation during a card game.
"That a game of cards should result in murder is a tragedy, and I am grateful to see the jury bring accountability to this senseless crime," Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a press release.
Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 25.
