BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — The Calhoun County prosecutor said, after a four-day trial, a jury found Marko McGee of Battle Creek guilty of first-degree murder Tuesday.
The jury convicted McGee of murdering Diabulo White, of Battle Creek, after two days of deliberations.
They also found McGee guilty of felony firearm, carrying a concealed weapon and resisting/obstructing police.
The prosecutor says White’s body was found in the trunk of his girlfriend’s car on May 21, 2018, after it was abandoned and towed to a Battle Creek impound lot.
Battle Creek police officers arrested McGee later that day after a brief chase.
