ATLANTA - Two Union City men await sentencing after they were convicted of killing a high school student almost two years ago.
A Fulton County jury Thursday returned guilty verdicts against 25-year-old Eskie Christmas and nineteen-year-old Marcus Jackson.
Each were convicted of murder, felony murder and other offenses.
Christmas and Jackson were on trial for the Aug. 2007 shooting death of eighteen-year-old Brandon Horton, a student at Creekside High School.
Fulton County prosecutors said the teenager was shot in the head while he played basketball with friends.
A sentencing hearing was scheduled for a later date.
*CORRECTION: Earlier reports indicated the two convicted men are from Union County in Northeast Georgia. Those reports were incorrect.
