A St. Joseph County jury has convicted 27-year-old Delvaughn Moore in the 2024 killing of Joyce Montague.

Police found Montague dead inside her South High Street apartment after welfare-check calls.

Investigators said she had been strangled and suffered blunt-force injuries.

Prosecutors said surveillance video, cellphone records and other evidence connected Moore to the case.

The four-day trial ended with just one hour of jury deliberations.

Moore is scheduled to be sentenced November 5 and faces up to 65 years in prison.
