(HELENA) Skyler Schneider has been found found guilty of deliberate homicide and tampering with evidence for the July 2017 shooting death of 23-year-old Katherine Spencer.
The week-long trial ended with the guilty verdict just after 9 p.m. on Friday.
Schneider called 911 on July 1st to report that a woman had been shot in a vehicle 12th Avenue and was bleeding badly.
When police arrived at the scene, they found Spencer in the passenger seat with a gunshot wound to her head.
Police searched an area where a neighbor reported seeing Schneider following what the neighbor said sounded like fireworks. Detectives found a 9MM semi-automatic handgun in that same area.
Schneider is scheduled to be sentenced on June 20th.
