Former Bad Boy rapper G. Dep was convicted yesterday of a decades-old murder — a cold-case East Harlem shooting that was solved only when he walked into a station house two years ago and turned himself in, to square himself with God.

The 37-year-old father of three now faces the mandatory minimum sentence for murder — 15 years.

“I told him to not regret his decision and that God won’t abandon him,” said his lawyer, Anthony Ricco. “Trevell Coleman is a very courageous person,” he added, using the rapper’s given name.

Coleman’s confession had been so bizarre, so startling, that cops at first didn’t believe him. At around the age of 18, he told them, he bought a .40-caliber pistol and tried to mug a stranger at Park Avenue and 114th Street, firing three shots. He asked if the person had lived or died.

The confession matched the 1993 shooting of John Henke — and cops broke the news that his victim had died
