(Bismarck, ND) -- A jury has found 19-year-old Corbin Lampert guilty of murder in the shooting death of 16-year-old Taryn Hohbein. 

Hohbein was killed in a Bismarck apartment last year. Lampert was arrested and charged with her murder. The defense questioned the reliability of the teenage witnesses, and claimed that another viable suspect was never fully investigated. However, the prosecution said witness testimony proved Lampert is the person responsible for the teen girl's death, and that he acted willfully.

The jury deliberated for approximately two hours.
