(KAIR)--A two day trial in Leavenworth County District court leads to the conviction of a 30-year-old man who threatened another with a handgun that discharged and caused injuries.
According to a release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, Antoine Courtney, of Leavenworth, was found guilty this week on the charge of aggravated battery.
Sentencing for Courtney is scheduled for January.
The release explains that Courtney, on June 6, 2021, approached a man, outside a home in the 1000 block of Leavenworth- Miami Street, where he pulled a gun and a struggle began.
During that struggle, the gun discharged, shooting the victim in the leg and shattering his bone, which led to multiple surgeries to repair it.
Following the shooting, Thompson says Courtney walked away from the crime scene.
It took the Leavenworth County District Court Jury less than 30-minutes to convict Courtney.
