HOLLAND, Michigan — A man was convicted Wednesday in the shooting death of Joseph Roberts.
Thaddeus Cortrez Wilson was found guilty of first-degree premeditated murder and a slew of other charges that stem from the June 2022 incident.
The shooting happened on June 19, 2022, at an apartment complex at 956 Lincoln Avenue in Holland. Responding officers found Roberts suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He later died from his injuries.
Investigators said an argument between Wilson and Roberts likely preceded the shooting and that "many potential witnesses" left the complex prior to their arrival.
Wilson fled from police for two months, and was later arrested in Illinois on Aug. 29, 2022, after U.S. Marshals alerted local authorities of his whereabouts.
Wilson was also found guilty Wednesday of four counts of felony firearm, possession with intent to deliver cocaine, possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine and felon in possession of a firearm.
Wilson is scheduled to be sentenced on March 18 at 9 a.m. in the 48th Circuit Court.
