(CNN) – Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the gunsmith from the film “Rust,” was found guilty Wednesday of involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering in a New Mexico trial related to the fatal 2021 on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins acquitted that she was killed by a live round of ammunition fired from a prop gun owned by actor Alec Baldwin.
Gutierrez Reed, who was responsible for security and firearms storage on the film's set, was acquitted of a separate charge of tampering with evidence that was brought after prosecutors alleged she was following a police interview with another person that day a “small bag of cocaine” handed over to the shootout.
The involuntary manslaughter charge carries a prison sentence of up to 18 months and a $5,000 fine.
