LEE COUNTY — After two days of testimony and evidence, the jury found Terry Brady guilty of second degree murder of transgender woman, Yaz'min Shancez.

Shancez was shot and set on fire twice in 2013 and it took the jury a little more than an hour and a half to come back with a guilty verdict.

Brady took the stand Thursday before deliberating began around 3:30 p.m. He admitted to being a convicted felon but denied ever harming the victim.

However, the state painted a different picture showing the jury surveillance pictures of a car Brady was driving, including to the business where the victim was found dead. They also showed the jury the murder weapon, which was found at Brady’s home 10 days after the crime.
