ANGLETON — After a Houston man testified in his own defense, a jury convicted him Wednesday afternoon of murder and two counts of aggravated robbery.

The jury of six men and six women deliberated just more than two hours before finding Joshua “Goldie” Tyrone Lane, 21, guilty of the three charges.

Lane was accused of entering an Alvin hotel the night of Aug. 18, robbing two men of several hundred dollars and then shooting one in the leg and the other in the abdomen. Bobby Wayne Dollarhide, 41, of Alvin died of his injuries while en route to a Houston-area hospital by EMS.

Lane faces up to life in prison. The sentencing phase is set to begin this morning.
