MINOT, N.D. (AP) - A jury in Minot has convicted a man accused of killing another man in the city.
Thirty-eight-year-old Anthony Campbell was charged with murder in the September 2014 death of 25-year-old Shannon Brunelle.
Brunelle was found stabbed to death in an apartment building garage where he’d been staying, and Campbell was arrested in Philadelphia after a nine-week search.
Jurors deliberated for six hours Wednesday before retiring for the night. The Minot Daily News reports that they reached their verdict Thursday morning.
Prosecutor Kelly Dillon said DNA evidence tied Campbell to the killing, and that his timing in fleeing Minot suggested guilt.
Defense attorney Samuel Gereszek said Campbell and Brunelle were friends, and that Brunelle’s death was “an execution, not just a random fight.”
Campbell faces life in prison.
