SUMMARY: Jordan Cummings has been found guilty of a double homicide near the St. Patty's parade last year, following an eight-day trial. The victims, Joshua Span and Jubilee Simkins, were killed in the Jefferson Street shooting in March 2023. Prosecutors portrayed Cummings as the aggressor, while Span and Simkins were described as heroes trying to intervene in an assault on Cummings' girlfriend. Despite the defense's request for a lesser sentence of manslaughter, Cummings faces life in prison. Hines County District Attorney Jody Owens called the verdict a success for the victims' families. Cummings' attorney plans to appeal. Sentencing is scheduled for Monday at 1 p.m.
