Guilty, is the verdict in the 2005 street-gang murder of Terrell Milam, the gang-banger who, hours before his death, had brawled with then-Seahawks now-Cowboy safety Ken Hamlin, (left) almost ending his career. As SW reported in 2008, Milam was killed for bragging to a rival gang member about shooting and wounding another gangster. But the man he bragged to just happened to be the wounded man’s brother. The man shot Milam, a Deuce 8, as they rode along in a car, and a second man “topped off” Milam, as a witness put it, with a shot to the head. That second shooter, Omar Norman, of the Low Profiles, was convicted yesterday. The first alleged shooter, Charles Justice, also an LP, has yet to be charged (still not enough evidence or witnesses willing to talk, a Times report indicates). Though snitching can be dangerous in the gang world, police convinced other gang members to talk about Norman’s role in the shooting. SW reported in December that Norman turned down a plea bargain, perhaps feeling the witnesses wouldn’t show at his trial. They did. After his plea rejection, prosecutors upped the charge to first-degree murder, of which a jury convicted Norman yesterday.
