An Omaha man is found guilty of first-degree murder.

19-year-old Milton Dortch shot and killed the owner of JR's Jewelry, James Minshall Sr., in Omaha during a robbery last September. 

Minshall was shot three times.

Dortch claims he fired because he thought Minshall was reaching for a gun. He testified during his trial that he never intended to shoot his gun or kill anyone. 

The conviction carries a life in prison sentence.
