Matthew Warmus, the 25-year-old accused of shooting and killing David Williams on April 7 in a parking lot on E. 9th, has been found guilty by a Cuyahoga County jury.
After three days of deliberation, some of which was loud and contentious enough to be heard outside the jury room, the twelve jurors decided that Warmus did not act in self defense when he shot Williams.
Judge Daniel Gaul sentenced Warmus to 15 years to life in prison.
