FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - A Florida man has been convicted of chasing another man down and killing him after a fight.
    

A Lee County State Attorney's Office news release says 24-year-old Davonte Dashwon Harris was found guilty Wednesday of second-degree murder. He faces life in prison at his July 9 sentencing.
    
Authorities say Harris and 25-year-old Willie Moore Jr. got into a fight at a Fort Myers hotel in August 2016. Harris ran away and grabbed a gun from his backpack. Authorities say Harris then chased Moore out of the hotel and shot him behind a nearby gas station.
    
Investigators say Harris dropped his cellphone near Moore's body. He was arrested two days later.
