A former military marksman was convicted Thursday of first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old man in southeast San Diego, but a jury deadlocked on the culpability of a teenage co-defendant. After 3½ days of deliberations, jurors convicted Lawrence Christopher Smith, 25, of
shooting Dom Perignon Champagne from his car the afternoon of Nov. 26, 2004. Smith was also convicted of attempted murder for pumping three shots into a drug dealer who owed him money on Sept. 12, 2004, and possession of marijuana for sale. Sentencing is scheduled for April 27.
