A DeKalb County jury has found a young man guilty of murder in the death of a former NFL player.
The jury convicted Antonio Deshun Faust on Friday in the killing 31-year-old David McMillian in May 2013, Channel 2 Action News reported. McMillian had given the then 18-year-old Faust a ride, police said at the time.
According to witnesses, the two men fought outside of McMillian's car. After firing shots, Faust ran, leaving McMillian to die in the roadway on Pine Hill Drive, police said.
McMillian, a Hinesville native, was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round of the 2005 NFL draft. The linebacker played three seasons before being cut by the team before the 2008 season.
He played college football at the University of Kansas.
