City man found guilty in 35-year-old murder

Thu, Apr 15th 2010 12:00 am
BUFFALO (AP) - A 56-year-old Buffalo man has been found guilty of fatally shooting a woman in 1975.

Bernard Thomas Jr. was found guilty April 8 of intentional second-degree murder for the slaying of 19-year-old Michelle Dixon, who was found 35 years ago lying facedown in her bed with gunshot wounds to her head and back.

Cold-case-squad detectives reopened the case in 2008 and obtained a DNA sample from Thomas that they said linked him to the crime. He was arrested last May.

Thomas faces mandatory life in prison when he is sentenced May 21.
