COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A 23-year-old man has been convicted in the shooting death of a soldier from Illinois who was stationed at Fort Carson.

The Denver District Attorney's Office said Ricky Scott was found guilty on Friday of first-degree murder in the July 23, 2011 death of 25-year-old Sgt. Anthony DiSilva.

DiSilva, who was shot near a Denver motel where he was staying, was about to be discharged from the Army and was waiting to meet his father so they could drive back to Illinois.
