Jurors in Montgomery County convicted Lewis of two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of 26-year-old Marcel Edwards and 26-year-old Quentin Watson Jr.

Prosecutors said he shot the victims in a jealous rage over a woman that both he and one of the victims had dated.
Defense attorney John McMahon Jr. has vowed an appeal, arguing that his client was acting in self-defense and should have faced nothing more serious than manslaughter charges.
