JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Duval County jury on Thursday convicted Terrell Jamar Reed, 24, in the 2012 shooting death of 28-year-old Jeffrey May.
Prosecutors say Reed and his brother, Tevin Jamel Reed, met with May to buy drugs. During the deal, the brothers pulled out guns and robbed the victim. As May struggled to fight back, he was shot in the back of the neck.
