A LaPorte County jury convicted Tre'von Walker on Tuesday in the death of Gerald Peters. He also was found guilty of robber and theft.

Another man, 23-year-old Ryan Phelps, also was convicted in Peters' death and was sentenced to 85 years in prison.
 
Authorities say Peters was beaten with a baseball bat.
