OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A man who shot to death his former girlfriend in a parking lot just north of Omaha has been found guilty.

Jurors convicted 20-year-old Marcus Wheeler on Monday of second-degree murder. Prosecutors say he killed 21-year-old Kay Nelson on April 18 last year.

Prosecutors say Wheeler shot Nelson as she sat in the driver’s seat of her vehicle and her 2-year-old son sat in a car seat in the back. Police say he had been fighting in the parking lot with a brother of Nelson’s new boyfriend before grabbing a gun and shooting her.
