BALTIMORE - Two Baltimore men are facing sentences of 25-years to life in prison after a Baltimore City Circuit Court jury found them guilty of attempted first-degree murder and other charges in an East Baltimore shooting.

Travon Jefferson, 24, and Phillip Johnson,23, were found guilty of shooting Durant Dowery five times last April on the front steps of his home in the 1700 block of Barclay Street.

The men left Dowery to die, but he recovered from his wounds and identified both men. So did Dowery's girlfriend, who positively identified both defendants as the men she saw fleeing the scene.

Jefferson and Johnson will be sentenced on November 30th.
