This appeal is from O’Dell Norwood, Jr.’s conviction for felony murder.1 The testimony at trial showed that Norwood, Mosley, and Moss went to Fowler’s home to collect $10 which Fowler had refused to pay because the drugs for which the money was owed were fake. Moss testified at trial that Norwood, gun in hand, entered the home with Mosley, a fight ensued, a shot was fired, and the three of them ran away. When they gathered again at Norwood’s cousin’s home, he gave her the gun for safekeeping and told the others that he had shot Fowler in the chest. His cousin gave the weapon to the police, who determined that it was the weapon which killed Fowler. Norwood admitted to police officers that he had shot Fowler in an attempt to rob him.

1. The evidence adduced at trial and summarized above was sufficient to authorize a rational trier of fact to find Norwood guilty of felony murder. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979; Jones v. State, 265 Ga. 138 1 454 SE2d 482 1995.
