A Selma resident was sentenced to 40 years in prison for two counts of shooting into an occupied building last week.

According to Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson, Jervon Turner pled guilty to two counts of shooting into an occupied building.

Dallas County Circuit Court Judge Collins A. Pettaway Jr. sentenced Turner, 25, on each count for 20 years to run concurrent.

The two shooting incidents occurred at the same residence at the block of 2514 Alabama Avenue on June 6, 2018.  Jackson said the two victims requested their names not be mentioned in the report.

“This gunslinger was lucky he didn’t kill one of them,” Jackson said.

Turner has a prior history of arrests in Selma. Turner was arrested for a robbery that happened at Southern Comfort Lounge on the corner of Race Street and Water Avenue on March 26, 2015. He was also in the Dallas County Jail Incident report for theft on Sept. 29, 2014, Nov. 5, 2014 and Jan. 19, 2015.
