A man who was charged with first-degree murder while armed in a 2007 homicide is due to be sentenced in February.

Don Hancock was found guilty by a jury trial on July 26, 2017. The jury reached a verdict for second-degree murder while armed.

Hancock was arrested on Aug. 23, 2013, in connection with the homicide of Nacarto Gladden. Gladden, 32. was fatally shot on July 17, 2007, and taken to the local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Hancock, 29, is still being held without bond and is due back in court on Feb. 16 for sentencing.
