Jury convicts Dreon Williams of 2010 murder in Campbell


YOUNGSTOWN — A jury today convicted Dreon A. Williams of all counts in the Aug. 6, 2010, shooting death of Anthony Harrison, who was shot in the back, and the wounding of Harrison’s friend, who was shot in the leg, as the two victims walked home from a church festival in Campbell.

The seven-man, five-woman jury rendered its verdict late this afternoon after two hours of deliberations at the end of a two-day trial.

Williams, who was only 17 when the shootings occurred, faces 18 to 48 years in prison when he is sentenced at 10 a.m. Wednesday by Judge R. Scott Krichbaum of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

A jury acquitted Williams’ brother, Dionte Robinson, on identical charges in the same shootings, on Oct. 5.
