RAPID CITY, S.D.- A Pennington County jury has found a Bronx, New York man guilty of murder.

Arnson Absolu was charged with the August 2020 killings in Rapid City.

Prosecutors maintained Absolu killed Charles Red Willow over a drug-related issue and that the other victims, Ashley Nagy and Dakota Zaiser were killed as a way of removing witnesses.

Witness testimonies concluded Tuesday and closing arguments were held Wednesday as the jury deliberated for around two days before reaching their verdict.

He faces up to life in prison on each count when he is sentenced on Feb. 24.
