MUSKOGEE COUNTY –

A Muskogee County jury found a man guilty of shooting a 16-year-old last year.

Coriyon Brown was a wrestler and soccer player who competed in several tournaments across the country. Brown was shot and killed in Muskogee last September.

Investigators say Terance Renfro and Allan Hill were there the night Brown was killed. They say the weapons used in the murder were Renfros and that both weapons were used at the crime scene.

The jury found Renfro guilty Friday and recommended life in prison without parole. A judge will formally sentence him in January.

Because Hill is Native American, his case will be filed in federal court. Court records show he is scheduled to go on trial in February.
