A jury found Michael Rogers guilty of first degree murder and other charges on Thursday, May 18, for his involvement in the shooting death of Antwoine Thompson, Union County Prosecutor William Daniel said.
In April 2021, police responded to Second and Bond Streets where they found Thompson suffering from six gunshot wounds, Daniel said. Thompson was taken to Trinitas Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, Daniel said.
Rogers will be sentenced next month, where he faces a sentence of up to life in prison, Daniel said.
