A Cook County jury today convicted a 25-year-old woman of first-degree murder in the 2009 slaying of a well-known candy shop owner in West Humboldt Park after he had evicted her friends from an apartment building he owned because of drug and gang activity.
Kerry Masterson sat stone-faced as the verdict was announced after a little more than two hours of deliberations.
She faces 20 to 60 years in prison for the murder of Michael Norton, who lived in an unincorporated area near Glen Ellyn. She is to be sentenced in December.
Masterson’s co-defendants, Elvin Payton and Beatrice Rosado, pleaded guilty to their roles and were sentenced to 22 and 47 years in prison, respectively.
