ROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) — A jury has convicted a man of a federal murder charge in the shooting death of a northern Illinois sheriff's deputy three years ago.
Jurors found 42-year-old Floyd E. Brown of Springfield guilty Friday of the second-degree murder of Jacob Keltner, attempted murder of a federal officer, assault and weapons charges.
He was acquitted of first-degree murder.
The 35-year-old Keltner was a McHenry County deputy working with a U.S. Marshal's Service fugitive task force serving Brown an arrest warrant when he was killed on March 7, 2019. Brown was wanted in a string of downstate burglaries.
