The guy who was accused of shooting and killing his drinking buddy last year was found guilty of lesser charges than what he was facing at first.
Michael Krieger, Sr., 63, was charged with many things, including two counts of murder and felony attack. Based on papers filed with the court on Friday, the jurors did not find him guilty of those charges. However, they did find him guilty of two counts of involuntary manslaughter, the proximate result of having weapons while disabled.
Donovan Sampson, 43, was shot and killed in an apartment on Leo Street in August 2023. Krieger was on trial for that crime.
News reports from people who saw the shooting say it happened after a night of drinking with a small group of friends and coworkers.
Scientists think Krieger went into a bedroom, grabbed a gun, and shot Sampson in the chest. Three men then went into the apartment, they said.
The police said that another man in the room grabbed Krieger’s gun and held him down until the police came.
Krieger will be given his sentence later this month.
