YOUNGSTOWN — A jury on Thursday found Luis M. Johnson, 24, of Catalina Avenue, guilty of attempted murder and felonious assault and four specifications in the Oct. 12, 2020, shooting of Tevin Gregory, 25, at a home on Fairfax Avenue on the East Side.

The jury deliberated about one hour late Wednesday and about an hour Thursday morning before returning guilty verdicts. Johnson was taken from the courtroom to the Mahoning County jail, and his bond was revoked. He will be sentenced later.

Johnson, who took the stand Wednesday to testify on his own behalf, was found guilty of a shooting that prosecutors say involved Johnson and Tyree Robinson, 23.

Testimony during the trial suggested that the shooting was motivated by Johnson being unhappy that the mother of his child was in a relationship with Gregory.

The attempted murder and felonious assault convictions could result in about 20 years in prison, but the specifications also could add more than 10 years to Johnson’s sentence.

Robinson originally was going to be tried with Johnson. He will now be tried separately, but he does not yet have a trial date.

A Youngstown police detective testified that Johnson’s mother, Elena Colon, came to the Youngstown Police Department and told Cox and another detective that the shooting involved her son, Luis.

Colon said she came to the police because Luis was upset about the break-up with his former girlfriend, the woman who was now seeing Gregory, and that Luis did not like Gregory being around the child he had with his former girlfriend.

Colon testified in the trial, agreeing that she told police that Robinson “pulled the trigger, Luis was with him.”

But when she was asked questions about other statements she allegedly made to police about the shooting, she replied that she was lying when she told police certain things or she did not remember telling police.

She also testified that she was “actually very psychotic” at the time she spoke with police.

Detective Michael Cox also testified that he spoke to Payton Mraz, a friend of Johnson, at the police station Oct. 20, 2020, and she said Johnson stayed with her overnight the morning of the shooting.

But she later changed her story and said Johnson did not stay with her. When Mraz testified, she said she was lying when she said that Johnson had been at her home the night of the shooting.

Rob Andrews, assistant county prosecutor, asked Mraz during the trial whether she had she had initially “covered” for Johnson by telling police he was with her the night of the shooting.

“Yes,” she said.

When Johnson took the stand, he told the jury he was sleeping at his grandmother’s house on Catalina Avenue on the North Side the morning of the shooting, and his mother woke him up while talking to Johnson’s former girlfriend on the phone about Gregory being shot.

He said he told police he was with Mraz the night and early morning of the shooting, “which was not true. The reason I said that though is because I have never been in trouble with the law before.”

He added, “I’ve never been involved in something like this, so I just wanted to get as far away from this as possible, so I did ask Payton to say that.”

Johnson testified that his mother misinterpreted a poem he had written to be a suicide note.
