A 34-year-old man has been convicted of first-degree murder in Denver.
Jesse L. Oliver, according to the Denver District Attorney’s Office, was found guilty Thursday after a six-day trial. He was also convicted of first-degree assault with a deadly weapon in the slaying of 34-year-old Bobby Brown and the wounding of a teen girl.
Investigators say that on Sept. 16, 2015, and wounded the girl outside of an apartment building at 13890 Albrook Drive in the city’s Montbello neighborhood. Oliver was arrested at the scene after, according to arrest documents, an officer saw him running from the shooting.
Brown died at the University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora, the documents say, while the girl — who was 17 years old at the time — was shot in the back and critically wounded.
Oliver is scheduled to be sentenced on May 17. He also will have a criminal trial that day to determine whether he is an habitual criminal.
