Torolan Williams, 28, has been convicted in the murder of five people who were shot execution-style during a home invasion on the city's South Side, officials said.
Prosecutors said Williams was let into the home in the 7600 block of South Rhodes by one of the victims in the early morning hours of April 23, 2008. Co-offender Michael King, 33, was also let into the home while defendant Arthur Brown, 31, stayed outside.
Once inside the home, each victim was shot once in the head and valuables were stolen from the home, officials said. The victims were discovered the following afternoon, and Williams was arrested June 9, 2008, after witnesses said he admitted to involvement in the incident.
Williams received five counts of first degree murder and armed robbery and faces life in prison after his sentencing next month.
King's murder trial is set to begin July 1. Brown has pled guilty to one count of first degree murder and has agreed to testify against his co-defendants.
