Jurors have found a 21-year-old Waterloo man guilty of shooting and killing his former best friend at a drive-up window in 2022.
The defense plans to seek a lesser charge of manslaughter for shooting at convenience store window.
Weeks before he was gunned down at a convenience store drive-up window, Courtney Harris had allegedly threatened the shooter’s friend with a gun.
Within minutes of the fatal shooting on Jan. 8, 2022, the defendant contacted his friend and asked to meet up so they could hide the weapon.
