A 31-year-old Minot man has been convicted of murder in the slaying of his father.

Christopher Vickerman had pleaded not guilty in the May 2019 death of 55-year-old Mark Vickerman at his Minot home.

A jury returned a guilty verdict today (Mon), after a week-long trial.

Testimony at trial showed the father and son had a strained relationship.

Mark Vickerman told several people he was afraid his son would try to kill him.

Christopher Vickerman faces up to life in prison without parole.

A sentencing date has not been set.
