A Mississippi man who shot and killed a California truck driver here in 2024 after a dispute over social media postings was found guilty as charged of second-degree murder Friday, April 3, 2026 in Caddo District Court.

It took about 90 minutes for the 10-woman, two-man jury in District Judge Chris Victory's court to find Amanvir Singh, 36, guilty of the April 23, 2024 slaying of Gurpreet Judge. Mr. Judge, also 36, was shot and killed on the side of the Greenwood Road onramp to Interstate 20 westbound. Judge was shot by Singh, who fled after the shooting but was later arrested out of state.

When Singh returns to Judge Victory's court April 21, 2016, he faces a mandatory life prison term without benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence.

Singh was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys William Edwards and Kodie K. Smith. He was defended by J. Dhu Thompson and Maddie Crusan.

The case was docket No. 401728.
