A 26-year-old man was found guilty of attempted murder and other charges for a shooting in downtown Cleveland that left nine people wounded about one year ago, authorities said Wednesday. Seven men and two women ranging in age from 23 to 38 were wounded when an assailant fired on a group of people in Cleveland’s Warehouse District shortly before 2:30 a.m. on July 9, 2023. Jaylon Jennings, after pleading no contest in court, was found guilty by a judge of every charge he faced: nine counts of attempted murder, 18 counts of felonious assault, two counts of having a weapon under disability, and one count each of grand theft and receiving stolen property, the Cuyahoga County prosecutor’s office in Ohio said Wednesday. Jennings’ plea is “a firm reminder that gun violence is unacceptable” and his office will hold “violent crime offenders” accountable, Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley said in a release. Jennings is scheduled to be sentenced at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center on September 3. CNN has sought comment from Jennings’ attorney, Fernando Mack.
