Man Convicted Over Murder Of T.I.'s Assistant Photo:

A 35-year-old man has been convicted of murdering US rapper T.I.'s assistant Philant Johnson.

Hosea Thomas was found guilty of 11 counts, including murder, felonious assault and illegally owning a firearm after being issued with a felony conviction.

Mr Johnson was murdered when a van he was travelling in with the rapper was ambushed by Thomas.

During the trial, the court heard how Thomas had became angry after he was denied entry to a VIP section in club in Cincinnati, OH where the rapper was holding a party in 2006.

It is understood that Thomas was hit over the head with a bottle during a scuffle with security.

Thomas and his brother later followed T.I.'s vehicle as the rapper left the club, shooting dead his assistant and injuring three others.

Thomas faces a minimum of twenty years in prison.
