After only four hours of deliberation, jurors have found two men guilty in the killing of a Nashville tourist. 

Closing arguments in the murder trial of Andy Nunez and Joseph Santillan began Thursday morning. Both were found guilty on all counts. 

Nunez was found guilty on first-degree premeditated murder, felony murder, attempted especially aggravated robbery and aggravated robbery. 

Santillan was found guilty on second-degree murder, felony murder, attempted especially aggravated robbery and attempted aggravated robbery. 

Investigators said the duo, along with Daniela Cruz, shot and killed Teddy Grasset during a robbery outside the Country Music Hall of Fame back in September 2016. 

Santillan eventually turned himself in, but Nunez and Cruz were caught in North Carolina. 

All three pleaded not guilty in the case.
