Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson says Jamahal Fountain was found guilty of charges of attempted murder in the 2nd degree, aggravated battery, criminal discharge of a firearm at an occupied dwelling, and felon in possession of a firearm. Sentencing is set for October 14th.
A court affidavit alleged the defendant shot Gregory Denton and David Wallace on September 11, 2015 outside a house on North Fifth Street in Leavenworth. According to the affidavit, Fountain allegedly entered Wallace’s home without being invited. No one inside knew Fountain, and he was asked to leave. Fountain went outside, but was followed by the two victims.
An argument took place outside the residence. Thomason says Fountain discharged a firearm at multiple individuals, and wounded two of them. In the affidavit, police quoted witnesses who said Fountain allegedly drew a handgun from his waistband and fired two shots at Denton, who was wounded. Then Wallace tried to disarm Fountain, but Fountain was able to break free of his grasp and fire the weapon. Wallace fell to the ground.
According to court documents, Fountain stood over Wallace and fired one more shot, but missed.
