A Criminal Court jury has returned a verdict of voluntary manslaughter against Marvin Jermane Davis in a fatal shooting from Jan. 3, 2020.

The jury also found Davis guilty of being a felon in possession of a weapon at the time of the crime.

He will be sentenced later by Judge Barry Steelman.

Davis had been charged with first-degree murder after police said he shot 32-year-old Michael Eric Williams multiple times. The victim died almost five months later.

Davis pleaded guilty in 2007 to attempted aggravated robbery and was not suppose to be carrying a gun.
