UPDATE: Sean Urbanski, the man charged with fatally stabbing Army 2nd Lt. Richard Collins III on the University of Maryland’s College Park campus in 2017, has been convicted of first-degree murder.
The jury deliberated for about two hours Wednesday following a two-week trial in Prince George’s County Circuit Court.
Earlier in the week, Judge Lawrence Hill tossed out the other charge Urbanski was facing — a state count of hate crime resulting in death — ruling prosecutors had failed to show that Urbanski, who is white, stabbed Collins to death in May 2017 specifically because Collins was black.
Urbanski, who will be sentenced April 16, will face a maximum sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole.
