A jury in Georgia convicted a 27-year-old man for murdering his rival’s grandmother while she slept in her bed, the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office said.

Tyree Jaron Simmons was found guilty of malice murder, three counts of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, first-degree criminal damage to property and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He killed 64-year-old Christine Walker at a hotel in Snellville, which is about 30 miles northeast of Atlanta, on Feb. 22, 2022.

Walker was living at the extended-stay motel with her 17-year-old grandson. The grandson told police Simmons pointed a gun at him during an altercation earlier in the day. The grandson went to the bathroom around 4:30 a.m. when several rapid-fire gunshots entered the hotel room, prosecutors said.

Bullets missed the grandson but hit Walker, who was sleeping in a bed, in the head, according to prosecutors. Paramedics pronounced her dead on the scene.
