The accused was charged with second-degree murder after shooting the deceased in the head following a confrontation at a gas station and a subsequent car chase.
The dispute originated from the deceased's rap lyrics disrespecting the accused's deceased friends.
The accused admitted to manslaughter but denied intent to kill, claiming the gun was fired accidentally as a warning and raising the partial defence of provocation.
The court rejected the accused's evidence, finding the shooting was intentional and that the elements of provocation were not met.
The accused was convicted of second-degree murder.
