A Superior Court jury has found Shakeil Wheatle guilty of first-degree murder, based largely on the co-operation of a star witness who risked his life to help police solve the killing of an innocent man. “We are pleased that justice was finally served in this case,” said Crown attorney Phil Tsui, who prosecuted the case with Elizabeth Jackson. But the killing of Davis sickened even a lifelong drug dealer from South Side. Bent, who was Wheatle’s co-accused, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the Davis homicide. He also incriminated himself in another fatal shooting, leading him to plead guilty to first-degree murder of Delano Coombs, 27, on May 10, 2012.
