Jury Finds Demonte Swann Guilty in Store Shooting | Jackson News

A jury in Hinds County convicted 23-year-old Demonte Swann of first-degree murder for fatally shooting 46-year-old Robert Lewis Harris outside a Jackson convenience store last May. The prosecution built a strong case using surveillance footage, ballistic evidence, and gunshot residue tests, effectively countering Swann’s self-defense claim. Facial recognition technology also played a key role in identifying him. Swann now faces sentencing on August 21 — a chilling reminder of how quickly violence can erupt during what seems like an ordinary moment.
