FAIRMONTÂ â A Marion County Circuit Court jury issued three guilty verdicts Friday for a Fairmont man charged with a 2018 shooting death.
After a week of testimony and presenting evidence, jurors convicted James Vincent on one count each of first-degree murder, malicious assault and conspiracy in the Sept. 25, 2018 shooting death of 32-year-old Luka Grabb.
Vincent was initially charged along with four other men who have since entered plea agreements with the prosecution or have been convicted.
In handing down the verdict, jurors recommended mercy for the charge of first-degree murder, which would make Vincent eligible to receive parole after 15 years. Vincent is due to be sentenced May 17 at 1:30 p.m.
