A jury closed an almost decade and a half old murder today with a guilty verdict.

The jurors convicted 32-year old Jarrode Phillips of murder and attempted murder for an August 1995 shooting.

Phillips shot and killed Weldon Jeffries and injured Spencer Johnson during a drive by shooting on West Jefferson in South Bend.

Phillips almost went to trial once before, but Johnson decided not to testify.

Prosecutors re-filed charges in January after Johnson changed his mind.
