A former criminal law student faces at least 50 years in prison after being convicted of killing one man and wounding two others in a dispute over a Sony PlayStation console.
A jury found Jonquel Brooks guilty Thursday of first-degree murder in the death of 19-year-old Brant Daniels and attempted murder for shooting at Roderick Buycks Jr., Drew Pfeiff and Kodi Shiflett. Buycks and Pfeiff were wounded.
Brooks was a freshman at California State University, Fresno, in May 2007 when police say he opened fire at the men. They had apparently gone to Brooks' apartment to look for their stolen PlayStation.
At trial, Brooks said he feared they were going to attack him and acted in self-defense.
Police did not find the PlayStation at Brooks' apartment.
