OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A teen has been convicted for his role in the 2015 killing of one man and the wounding of another in Omaha’s Miller Park.

A Douglas County jury found 19-year-old Jamar Milton guilty Thursday of second-degree murder, assault and a weapons count. Prosecutors say Milton and two other boys fatally shot 31-year-old Jamymell Ray and wounded Charles Fisher on June 29, 2015.

Milton was 17 at the time of the shootings, but he was prosecuted as an adult. Another teen, 16-year-old Shuntayvious Primes-Willis, was sentenced in July to 30-50 years in prison for his role. The other youth involved, now 13, is being treated at Boys Town in Omaha.
