A 12-member jury convicted two defendants Thursday night on six charges related to a Norman police investigation into a gang in 2018.
Marcus Larod Jackson, 22, of Norman, and Juwan Thomas Square, 23, of Moore, were found guilty of racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering, discharging a weapon into a dwelling (two counts for Jackson, one for Square), assault and battery with a deadly weapon and shooting with intent to kill. Square also was found guilty of using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon.
According to evidence presented by the state and the Norman Police Department, Jackson and Square were part of a group of eight men who were arrested in 2019 for involvement in numerous armed robberies, vehicle thefts, carjackings, drive-by shootings and drug-related offenses in Norman and four other cities under the name Money Murder Gang from June to December 2018.
