A jury has convicted a man of shooting two police officers during a 2015 protest in Ferguson amid fallout over the fatal police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown months earlier.

The officers were shot in March 2015 during one of many protests that followed Brown’s August 2014 death. Both officers survived, but one left the department due to his injury, according to Webster Groves Lt. Andy Miller.

A St. Louis County jury deliberated about two hours Thursday night before finding Jeffrey Williams, 22, guilty of two counts of assault, three counts of armed criminal action and one count of shooting from a vehicle.

Williams, who was in a car passing through the protest area when bullets struck a Webster Groves officer in the face and a St. Louis County officer in the shoulder, says he isn’t the one who shot the officers. Williams’ attorney, Jerryl Christmas, said an appeal is likely.
