BOSTON — An Army veteran from Chelsea has been convicted of first-degree murder for shooting a man during an altercation at a Boston bar.

Prosecutors say Yat Fung Ng, 29, shot 33-year-old Karriem Brown of Boston once in the head at about 2 a.m. on May 23, 2004. Brown died of his injuries at Brigham and Women’s Hospital nearly a month later.

Ng is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday. He faces a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

The altercation started after Ng saw another customer at the bar push a woman.

After the shooting, Ng fled in his car. He was apprehended a short time later. The gun used in the shooting was never recovered.
