Sentencing to begin Friday for man convicted of killing teen
FOX 26's Tiffany Justice has the latest after a man was convicted of killing a teen outside of Lamar High School back in 2018
HOUSTON - One suspect, who was on trial for the gang-related murder of a Lamar High School student, has been found guilty.
Kendrick Johnson was convicted Thursday after being charged with the murder of 18-year-old Delindsey Mack in November 2018, prosecutors said.

We're told Johnson is expected to be sentenced on Friday.
Prosecutors say Keona Mouton, who was 16 at the time of the shooting, set up Mack to be shot and killed. Investigators said she walked out of school with Mack just minutes after receiving a text message asking if he'd left yet.
Johnson sent a text to Mouton around 8 a.m. saying, "Don't say it but what we talked about yesterday is still on."
He was charged with Mack's murder last March and reportedly belonged to a rival gang.
