Jury Finds Co-Defendants Guilty of Murder Over $50

A jury found Charles Bowen, 20, and Davon Butler, 19, guilty of all charges on April 8 in connection to the murder of Darcell Mitchell, 20. Mitchell was believed to be an old friend of the co-defendants, who murdered him after he refused to surrender $50. 

Bowen was found guilty of first-degree murder, armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, and firearm use in a felony or violent crime. 

Butler was found guilty of the same charges, as well as of having a handgun on his person, possession of a firearm or ammunition as a minor, and having a loaded handgun on his person. 

Both defendants are expected to receive sentencing dates soon. Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Jennifer B. Schiffer presided over the hearing.
