Aaron Thompson has been found guilty of murder-for-hire in the deaths of a newlywed couple.
The 33-year-old now faces life in prison for two-counts of first-degree murder.
The shooting took place in 2013 in front of the couple’s Paladin Club condominium.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that most of the trial centered around whether Thompson was one of the two shooters who shot and killed the couple that night.
The paper reports that four people were arrested and charged in the murders.
The killings involved a plan in which the husband’s business partner Christopher Rivers would receive a $1 million payout from an insurance policy for their business mortgage in the event of their deaths.
Rivers was found guilty of being the mastermind of the scheme in his trial and is now serving a two-life prison terms.
