A 20-year-old Houston man will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars after killing a man over Air Jordans in 2012.

Star Telegram reports that a jury found Daron Taylor guilty of capital murder in the killing of 21-year-old Joshua Woods, who was sitting in his car after buying a pair of "Bred" Air Jordan XIs on December 21, 2012. 

Taylor was sentenced to life in prison with eligibility for parole in 40 years since he was 16 when the murder took place.

If this case sounds familiar, it's because it's been in the news before—Taylor is the second of three suspects to be convicted Last February, 21-year-old Neal Bland was sentenced to life in prison for the killing.
