The New Year began with multiple shootings in Springfield, including one taking the life of Darryl Stamper Jr., 41. Eight months later, Lawaun Bass, 32, of Columbus, was convicted Wednesday after a three-day trial. Bass was also convicted on the felonious assault of a woman who was also shot during the incident. Jurors convicted Bass of one count of murder, two counts of felonious assault, one count of improperly discharging a firearm at a habitation and one count of tampering with evidence. Earlier in the night of the shooting, Bass’s sister was involved in a traffic accident that brought Bass to Springfield.
