CHICAGO—A pair of juries has found two men guilty of killing a Chicago boy in what prosecutors allege was a gang-related shooting almost nine years ago.

Jurors on Thursday found 29-year-old Jamal Joiner and 28-year-old Rasheed Martin each guilty of murder in connection with the death of 7-year-old Amari Brown, the Sun-Times reported. The jurors also found them each guilty of attempted murder for wounding a woman and firing at another man whom prosecutors allege was their true target.
