A Fulton County jury has reached a verdict in the 2015 shooting death of a 39-year-old construction worker at a Kroger on Ponce de Leon Avenue.

Damarius Thompson and Shontavious Chestnut were found guilty of murder in the death of Joshua Richey, a father of four from Alabama. Thompson represented himself in the trial.

The two men were charged with four counts of felony murder in the case, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported.

Richey was just finishing a job near the Kroger on Ponce de Leon Avenue last March when he saw two men trying to break into his car.

The two men were accused of shooting Richey while trying to stop them from breaking into his car.

Police say Thompson shot Richey through the vehicle and escaped in a car driven by Chestnut.

Richeys co-worker, Jason Shelton, was working near the Kroger with Richey at the time of the shooting. He chased down the getaway car for a possible tag, but was unable to get one.

Shelton then called 911 and tried to perform CPR on him until help arrived.

Richeys widow told Channel 2 Action News she believed justice was served.

They took away not only my husband but my best friend, she told the news station. My soulmate and father to my daughter.

Richeys employer, RGWilliams Construction, set up an account for his family at the time of his death. The Kroger Atlanta Division also set up a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in Richeys murder.

Thompson and Chestnut had previous arrest records and theft charges.Thompson had served in state prison twice and was released in January 2014 after serving 17 months for terroristic threats and acts. Chestnut was arrested for probation violation in June 2014.

The shooting happened at the Kroger on Ponce de Leon, nicknamed Muder Kroger for frequent crimes at that location.
