A 22-year-old woman who led a smitten teen to his horrific death has been convicted of his murder and now faces dying behind bars.

Keona Mouton was found guilty on Tuesday and charged as an adult in the heinous shooting death of Delindsey Mack, 18, on November 2018. She was 16 at the time of the murder and the final suspect in the heinous crime of the promising teen.

Investigators said Mouton knew Mack liked her and left school with him as part of a set up. After receiving a text from Kendrick Johnson, 19, she lured him to a specific location where he was shot seven times. 

Prosecutors with the district attorney's office said they believe Mouton helped plan the murder before Mack was shot dead by Johnson, described as the mastermind behind the hit, Fox 26 Houston reported. 

Mack had transferred to Lamar High School in River Oaks area after escaping the gang violence from Yates High School, approximately 20 minutes away, to be in a safer environment.
