CLEVELAND: A jury in Cleveland has found two men guilty of fatally shooting a 19-year-old woman while she was sleeping in a bed with her 1-year-old child in a crib beside her.
Prosecutors say 20-year-old Willie Wilson Jr. and 18-year-old James Alexander were convicted Thursday of 15 counts including aggravated murder.
They also were convicted of shooting the woman’s 17-year-old brother when they broke into an apartment in the early morning hours last April 14 on the city’s east side. The brother survived. The baby was unharmed.
Their attorneys claimed they didn’t do it. The two men will be sentenced March 15.
