SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A San Francisco jury has found a former reality TV show contestant guilty of killing a man in 2007.
Twenty-nine-year-old Jamal Rashead Trulove of Oakland was convicted Tuesday of first-degree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Prosecutors say Trulove fatally shot 28-year-old Seu Kuka at a San Francisco public housing project in July 2007. Truelove was arrested in Monterey County on a $5 million murder warrant in October 2008.
Trulove appeared on the VH1 reality show "I Love New York 2." The program was filmed in Los Angeles just three weeks before Kuka's murder.
Truelove appeared on the first episode and was dismissed from the show for fighting. He could face a minimum of 50 years to life in prison when sentenced March 19.
