CENTREVILLE, Alabama - A Bibb County jury today convicted a man in last year's deadly workplace shooting in Centreville.
The jury deliberated only about 30 minutes before convicting 47-year-old Israel Cid, a New York native. He was convicted in the death of Thomas Duane Banks, 50, of Northport, said Jim Ransom, assistant Bibb County district attorney.
The shooting happened in October 2010 at the Bibb County Board of Education building, which was under construction at the time. Both Cid and Banks were electricians working on the job.
Witnesses in the trial, which began Monday, said a dispute between the two arose over the theft of copper which led to Cid being fired.
Ransom said Cid went to his car, retrieved a .38-caliber pistol and shot Banks once in the head. He was taken into custody at the scene.
Ransom, who prosecuted the case, said he was pleased with swift justice. "Everyone involved in the apprehension of Cid, and in the investigation of the shooting, did a great job," he said.
Cid will be sentenced later this year.
