The jury hearing the trial of Devin Hall found him guilty on Tuesday of first-degree murder and attempted murder for opening fire in the Salisbury House Resturant at Pembina and Stafford in September 2012.
Jeffrey Lau, an alleged local drug dealer, was shot and killed in the shooting spree that lasted less than 15 seconds.
Police were able to link Hall to the murder using DNA evidence recovered from a shirt and gloves found near the scene of the shooting. He was also listed on a rental car as co-driver that was seen by witnesses leaving the scene.
Hall has never admitted to the crime and pleaded not guilty in court.
A first-degree murder conviction has a mandatory sentance of life with no chance of parole for 25 years.
