A Superior Court jury on Wednesday found Rickey Pharr guilty of first-degree premeditated murder while armed.

He faces a minimum of 35 years in prison at his sentencing in April. Prosecutors say the 28-year-old Pharr shot Angelo Jones repeatedly in October 2010.

The two got into an argument after Pharr accused Jones of being a government informant. Pharr left the area and returned with a gun, shooting Jones a half dozen times.

Prosecutors say he then enlisted his friends to provide false alibis to the police and to his lawyer.
