Okuri Omar Brown was convicted of malice murder in the shooting death of Demetric Edwards and was sentenced to life in prison.1 He appeals from the denial of his motion for a new trial, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence and the sentence imposed by the trial court. Finding the evidence sufficient and no error in the life sentence, we affirm.
1. The jury was authorized to find from the evidence adduced at trial that Brown paged the victim to arrange a purchase of marijuana. Brown drove with his brother, Buck, in the passenger seat to the rendezvous point. Just before the victim entered the vehicle, Buck readied his gun and announced that he was going to rob the vic*624tim. As Brown drove, Buck took the marijuana handed him by the victim and then fired several shots into the victim, killing him. Buck dumped the victim’s body along the roadside. Once home, Buck unsuccessfully attempted to clean the blood out of the upholstery. When a trip to a carwash failed to remove the evidence, Brown tore out the upholstery and padding and hid the fabric. When police searched Brown’s home he admitted that marijuana found under his mattress had been stolen from the victim.
Decided March 1,2004.
William O. Cox, for appellant.
Spencer Lawton, Jr., District Attorney, Jerome M. Rothschild, Jr., Assistant District Attorney, Thurbert E. Baker, Attorney General, Chad E. Jacobs, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
This evidence was sufficient to enable a reasonable trier of fact to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Brown was guilty of murder as a party to the crime. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979).
2. “A person convicted of the offense of murder shall be punished by death or by imprisonment for life.” OCGA § 16-5-1 (d). “Every person concerned in the commission of a crime is a party thereto and may be charged with and convicted of commission of the crime.” OCGA § 16-2-20 (a). Contrary to Brown’s argument, the jury convicted him of malice murder, not conspiracy to commit murder.2 Accordingly, the trial court did not err by imposing a life sentence.
Judgment affirmed.
All the Justices concur.
