GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — Owen Backus, the man charged murdering another man on Green Bay's west side in 2023, was found guilty by a jury on Thursday, according to court records.
Backus' trial began on Monday, March 10. A jury found him guilty on Thursday.
In December 2023, police said 30-year-old Michael Hubbard of Green Bay was found dead in a home in the 1700 block of Western Avenue.

Police arrested Backus and was held at a $1 million cash bond. Backus pleaded not guilty in April 2024.
Backus is scheduled to be sentenced on June 9.
