Muhammad Convicted as DC Sniper

HeadlineNov 18, 2003

John Allen Muhammad, one of the men accused of the DC sniper killings last year, has been found guilty of murder, terrorism, conspiracy and a firearms charge. The jury is expected to decide on whether he should receive the death penalty within the next few days. Muhammed was convicted of shooting dead Dean Meyers at a gas station and murdering at least one other person. He may also face other charges relating to the killings, which left 10 dead and three wounded.

His alleged accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, is on trial separately. Malvo could also face the death penalty if convicted, despite being 17 years-old at the time of his alleged crimes.
