Annapolis man found guilty in shooting case

An Annapolis man was found guilty Tuesday of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder related to the shooting death of a Brooklyn Park man in 2015. Gibran Dominique Anderson, 24, was convicted of the charge by a jury while being found not guilty of first-degree murder and a weapons offense in the death of Tylique Proctor, 20.

Brian Deonte Brunson, 24, of Annapolis, is set to go to trial in October to face murder and conspiracy charges.
