BAY CITY, MI — A jury has found a man guilty of murder for his role in a 2019 marijuana robbery that turned fatal when the Bay City homeowner interrupted his three would-be burglars.

The jurors deliberated for about four hours before delivering their verdicts about 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 9, finding Devon J. Knights, 26, guilty of first-degree felony murder, armed robbery, first-degree home invasion, and conspiracy to commit first-degree home invasion. Jurors acquitted Knights of a fifth charge, that being conspiracy to commit armed robbery.

The convictions stem from the July 2019, killing of 39-year-old Tyler R. Gruber, shot twice inside his home at 505 N. Henry St. A jury in October found lead suspect Brandon M. Dupuis, 29, guilty of first-degree premeditated murder, first-degree felony murder, first-degree home invasion, armed robbery, conspiracy to commit first-degree home invasion, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, felon in possession of a firearm, and five counts of felony firearm.
