A Harrisburg man has been convicted of gun possession following a two-day jury trial.
According to officials, Carlos C. Hill, 41, was found guilty of possession of a firearm by a previously convicted felon. The jury returned a verdict after three hours.

Prosecutors say the firearm was subsequently recovered by the Harrisburg Police Bureau.
Hill faces a statutory minimum of 15 years imprisonment. A sentencing date for Hill has not yet been scheduled.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in coordination with the Harrisburg Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Meredith A. Taylor handled the prosecution.
Hill's co-defendant, Elijah U. Brown, Jr., is scheduled for trial on April 1, 2013.
The maximum penalty under the federal statute is life imprisonment.
In this case, the statutory maximum penalty for the offense is not an accurate indicator of the potential sentence for a specific defendant.
