MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A man has been found guilty of shooting his landlord to death at a building in Whitehaven back in 2021.

After an almost weeklong trial, a jury found Robert Collins guilty of killing his landlord following a dispute over rent payments and property maintenance.

On November 16, 2021, investigators say the shooting took place at a small building in the 600 block of East Shelby Drive, where Collins worked on cars and stayed occasionally.

Investigators say that Collins had been several months behind on rent and failed to maintain the property as agreed.

A witness told investigators that Collins said if the landlord came to see him, he "had something for him."

When the landlord came to the small building, Collins fired multiple shots at him, striking him over a dozen times.
