A jury convicted Shawn Wood of murder and other charges in the December 2011 shooting death of church choir director Corey Turner.
The Montgomery County Common Pleas Court jury announced their decision to Judge Frances E. McGee after deliberations ended shortly before 8 p.m. Thursday.
The jury of nine women and three men began deliberating at about 1 p.m. after hearing closing arguments and jury instructions.
Dan Brandt, asssistant prosecutor, said the prosecution was pleased with the verdict and glad that "justice was served."
"It's been a long time coming for the family of Corey Turner," Brandt said. "Over three years have gone by and they've been waiting that long for justice in this case."
McGee set Wood's sentencing for Feb. 25.
Wood, 32, was arrested three months after News Center 7's Miami Valley Murder Mysteries spotlighted Turner's story. Turner's case was one of four cold cases profiled on the Sept. 13, 2012 television special.
Turner, the choir director at Greater Allen African Methodist Episcopal Church for 12 years, had been in final rehearsals for a Christmas concert. Investigators found Turner's body inside his apartmen on Forest Park Drive in Harrison Twp.
