The Milwaukee man who shot and killed his 13-year-old neighbor after accusing the teen of breaking into his home and stealing his guns was convicted Wednesday in the teen’s death.
The jury, who deliberated for about an hour before finding John Henry Spooner guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, will now decide whether or not the 76-year-old was mentally ill when he murdered Darius Simmons.
Surveillance video from Spooner’s own security cameras showed him confronting Simmons on a sidewalk outside their homes in May 2012. Spooner waved a gun at the boy and fired directly into his chest from just a few feet away.
