A jury has convicted a 25-year-old man of capital murder in the killing of former Texas Tech basketball star Andre Emmett.
Andre Emmett, who had brief stints with the Memphis Grizzlies and New Jersey Nets after college.
Prosecutors say Jenkins and two other men followed Emmett, who was 35, from a nightclub to his Dallas home. After he parked in his garage, they confronted him and demanded two chains and a watch he was wearing. A witness told police that Jenkins, whom police had placed at the crime scene, was the one who fatally shot Emmett before the three fled.
Emmett was a guard for the Texas Tech Red Raiders for four years, three under head coach Bob Knight, and set a team career scoring record by the time his collegiate run ended in 2004.
