Two other men - Yarvon Russell and James Shorter, both 19 - were found guilty by the jury of second-degree murder. They each face 50-year prison sentences.
Williams’ half brother, Kent Anthony Tyler III, was convicted of second-degree murder in December and is serving a 50-year sentence.
Prosecutors say Tyler punched Daughenbaugh and knocked him to the ground and others beat him.
