His co-accused, Michael Adams and Dwayne Pink, also received guilty verdicts for murder, on both accounts, and conspiracy to murder.
The third co-accused, Shaquilla Edwards, was found not guilty of murder on both accounts but received a guilty verdict for conspiracy to murder.
Campbell-Collymore and Walters were shot dead on January 2, 2018, by two gunmen outside the gates of the Forest Ridge apartment complex in Red Hills, St Andrew, where Campbell-Collymore lived with her husband Omar.
They were shot by two men who travelled on motorcycles.
It is alleged that Collymore contracted Adams to have Campbell-Collymore murdered so he could claim life insurance benefits from policies that belonged to his wife worth $100 million.
They are to be sentenced on July 11, 2024.
