KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Johnson County jury convicted a man for shooting and killing another man outside a Johnson County library in 2020.

When they arrived, officers located Micah Babick, who was 30 when he was killed.

Less than a week later, Dvonte Jamal Brown was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Babick.

On Wednesday, Brown was found guilty of Babick's death. Brown will be sentenced March 29.
