A jury has convicted a gang member on a charge of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of a security guard who tried to break up a fight at a Memphis mall.

The Commercial Appeal reports that 21-year-old Terrell Loverson had faced a first-degree murder charge but the jury convicted him on the lesser charge.

The security guard, 28-year-old Marques Rainey, was shot once in the chest when he tried to break up a gang fight on Feb. 27, 2010.

Loverson was also charged with Resisting Official Detention and Assault.

Rainey was killed while trying to break up a fight between the suspect and another man.

Police allege that Loverson pulled a gun on Rainey and shot him during the altercation. Rainey later died at The Med.

Prosecutor Ray Lepone told jurors that the former Marine was just trying to do his job when he was shot.

Loverson’s lawyers argued that he shot out of fear with no premeditation, which is required for a first-degree murder conviction.

Loverson faces 15 to 25 years in prison.

Rainey leaves a wife and a 5 yo daughter behind.

Scum. I really wish we used a quick death punishment for people like these. Why keep him alive and pay for him for the rest of his life?:2gunsfiring_ v1:

Gotta Love the ignorant dog shit for brains people who comment on this website!! You Rock! MeeP...MeeP!
The crime is atrocious, committed by one guy. But then it all turns into "Silly ******" and "...Black People", instead of stating truth, the shit for brains share their racial insults.
Probably just upset you can't go around freely lynching us!

Truth is, a guy like that will prob end up doing more then his 25 because he's gonna catch cases, turning that 25 into a natural life sentence. Trust me, justice has been served. Poor mall cop though :(

the responses make me laugh, if it was a bunch of white people in this video and there were comments saying "silly whiteys" or "..white people" no one would batt an eye lash.


you know why? because stating the skin colour of the people in the video is not racist.


people are so fucking over sensitive when it comes to race, and it makes policing this site a pain in the ass, why not get thicker fucking skins and complain about the real racist comments and do something productive rather than wasting our time with bullshit report button usage
