JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A jury found Raymond Austin guilty of shooting another man in the chest in a parking garage in 2010.

Austin, 19, was found guilty of shooting Carl Davis in October 2010.  Davis was lured into a Jacksonville parking lot where he was shot in the chest by Austin, then 17.

Austin's co-defendent, Shanda Merritt, was Davis' ex-girlfriend.  She goes to trial on the attempted murder charge August 20, 2012.

Austin faces a minimum mandatory of 25 years in prison.  His sentencing is set for the week of July 30, 2012.

Austin is expected to go to trial this fall for the 2010 kidnapping, armed robbery and first degree murder of 83-year-old Charles Soukup.  Austin, Merritt and two others are charged with kidnapping Soukup from Jacksonville International Airport and killing him. Soukup's body was found near the airport.
