A Black Lake man has been found guilty of second-degree murder in connection to a fatal shooting three years ago.

Twenty-nine-year-old Allister Donard was initially charged with first-degree murder in the death of Joey John Yooya.

Yooya’s body was found in the woods just east of the community on July 7, 2011.

The 21-year-old victim had disappeared two days earlier and was the subject of a search.

Donard will be sentenced on Sept. 18.
