The commonwealth's attorney evidence established the juvenile and a co-defendant greeted 24-year-old Rashee Parson, an acquaintance, and continued walking. They later turned around and began shooting at Parson.

The medical examiner found 20 gunshot wounds in Parson. The juvenile shooter's phone placed him at the scene of the crime, the CA's office said.

He will be sentenced in February and faces a maximum penalty of life in prison.
