A man faces up to 16 years in prison after being convicted of shooting another man in Reno last September.

The Washoe County District Attorney's Office says Eddie Lao-Rodriguez has been convicted of Battery with the Use of a Deadly Weapon and Own or Possess a Firearm by a Prohibited Person.

Prosecutors say Lao-Rodriguez and a visiting friend got into an argument over cars and money when Lao-Rodriguez shot him in the legs and continued to shoot the victim as he ran away. 

Authorities say officers found the gun and related items throughout the house and yard.

Sentencing is set for May 26th.
