Three men were found guilty Friday of breaking into a woman’s home three years ago and killing her, Channel 2 Action News reported.

Jonathan Banks, James Calhoun and James Sims broke into Pamela Williams’ home in 2013, found her hiding in a closet and shot her, the news station reported.

The men were found guilty of murder, aggravated assault, burglary and firearm possession. Banks was also found guilty of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Williams was a former Target store manager at Camp Creek Marketplace. Loved ones described her as a “mother figure” and giving. Williams had donated a kidney to her sister, Channel 2 reported. Her mother discovered Williams’ heart had been donated as well.

A fourth man believed to be with the men the night of the home invasion has not been charged, Channel 2 reported.

The three men will be sentenced at a later date.
