A former fugitive from justice was yesterday convicted of the murder of Fabian Joffer more than nine years ago.
Jason Marshall, 34, was convicted of the 2005 shooting.
Justice Indra Charles will sentence him on June 11.
Marshall, who was on $9,500 bail until his conviction, has been remanded to Her Majesty's Prisons until the sentencing hearing.
Prosecutors say Marshall shot Joffer following an argument at a party on Major Road in Yellow Elder Gardens.
Witnesses alleged that Marshall returned with a 9mm pistol and shot Joffer.
Prosecutors said that Marshall's flight from the country was evidence of his guilt.
He went to the United States shortly after the shooting.
Marshall was deported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in February 2011.
He was arrested in Philadelphia for assault after he got into a confrontation with another man on October 2, 2010.
But Marshall said he was a victim of mistaken identity.
According to his lawyer Ian Cargill, there were three men called Jason at the party and investigators had failed to establish which Jason was responsible for the shooting as they did not hold an identification parade.
Marshall presented documentation to show that his name was really Reuben Jason Marshall and not Jason Reuben Marshall as the prosecution alleged.
