A former Wake Forest University assistant basketball coach has been convicted of assault for fatally punching a man in New York City.

A jury in Queens criminal court found Jamill Jones guilty of misdemeanor assault on Thursday for the punch that killed 35-year-old Sandor Szabo in August 2018.

The New York Post reported that Jones showed no emotion when the jury delivered the guilty verdict, and that Szabo's friends and family members tearfully consoled each other.

"I am so relieved it's over," said Donna Kent, Szabo's mother. "I'm ready to sleep and move on. This has been my life for 18 months."

Jones, 37, of Kernersville, North Carolina, faces up to one year in prison at his sentencing next month.
