Jefferson County jury found Demaurion Moore and Mekhi Cable guilty on all charges Thursday in connection with the 2021 drive-by shooting that killed 16-year-old Tyree Smith at a Louisville bus stop.
Moore and Cable were each convicted of murder, attempted murder, two counts of fourth-degree assault, three counts of wanton endangerment, receiving stolen property and possession of a handgun by a minor.
The two men were convicted of murdering Smith, an Eastern High School student, in a drive-by shooting on September 22, 2021, at West Chestnut and Dr. W.J. Hodge streets. Moore and Cable were 15 at the time of the shooting.
Two other children, a 13-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl, were also at the bus stop and survived after being shot. Police said Smith was not the intended target.
The case will now move to sentencing, where Cable and Moore could each face life in prison.
