The family of Kachavious Hurry finally received closure Wednesday when Jeremy Johnson was given a 20-year sentence for manslaughter by Circuit Judge Tommy Jones.

Johnson, who pled guilty Sept. 15, was originally arrested after witnesses said they saw him fire shots into the victim’s vehicle.

The incident, which was reported April 2, 2009, occurred in the 1500 block of Broad Street. When officers arrived on the scene, they found Hurry on the ground, face up and unresponsive. Hurry was transported to Vaughan Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Testimony from Angelo Green who was inside the victim’s vehicle, said they noticed a gold or brown Sport Utility Vehicle drive up behind them and start shooting into their vehicle.

Green said shortly after Hurry said he had been hit, he pulled over in the parking lot of the fire department.

Green said the victim and Johnson had been feuding before the incident.

Johnson was later located on Broad Street and Fourth Avenue, detained, and transported to the Selma Police Department for questioning.

He later confessed to firing the shots.
