Wigfall, 37, was charged with another man whose case is still pending, according to online court records.

Jurors at the Berkely County trial were told that the two shot up the home in an act of retaliation on the morning of Oct. 31, 2017. One of the men had been at the home earlier when he was robbed of a gun, state Ninth Circuit Solicitor 9th Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said in a release announcing the conviction.

Both men were armed with rifles when they returned to Hutchins’ home. Investigators noted over two dozen bullet holes.
