LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A Tippecanoe County jury has found a Lafayette man not guilty of attempted murder.
26-year-old Matthew Johnson was convicted of five felonies Thursday, including aggravated battery, battery, two counts of possession of methamphetamine, and having an illegal drug lab. But the verdict for an attempted murder charge came back not guilty.
Johnson was involved in a shooting at the Cambridge Estates Apartment Complex in Lafayette in October 2010. Court documents show the shooting took place after Johnson tried to buy marijuana at the complex. A date has not yet been set for his sentencing hearing.
