A Georgia man will spend the rest of his life in prison after being convicted of killing a woman, in the Upstate. Court records say, a jury found Derek Snyder guilty of murder and a weapons violation after a week-long trial.
The jury took just over an hour to convict Snyder in relation to the deadly shooting of Katy Jones in 2024. Court records show that Snyder shot Jones in an Anderson County industrial park. Snyder was said to be obsessed with Jones and the shooting happened as a result of her rejecting him.
Key evidence included a pair of shoes that Snyder ran out of when fleeing the scene, that was recovered. Snyder has been given a "day for day" life sentence.
