The jury found Mr. Morgan guilty of shooting and killing 28-year-old Lamont “Bam” Rogers on the early morning hours of September 5, 2021, at the intersection of Sixth and Grove Streets. He shot the victim at least eight times before fleeing the scene.
Mr. Morgan’s sentencing is set for May 2, 2023, before the Honorable Ada County District Judge Nancy Baskin.
