Armond Trevillion, sentenced Dec. 3 to life in prison without parole, has had 53 years added to his sentence for crimes included in his murder indictment.

Jurors also found Trevillion, 28, guilty of two counts of aggravated assault, shooting into an occupied dwelling and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. He had previously served a 15-year term for aggravated assault in another homicide.

Judge Frank Vollor imposed the state-set murder sentence when jurors returned their verdict after a two-day trial. The 53 years Vollor added was the maximum for each of the additional crimes.

Trevillion was the second of four brothers to be found guilty in the June 2007 shooting of 25-year-old Justin Maurice Harris at a Grammar Street home. Anthony Trevillion, 30, was convicted in April and also sentenced to life in prison plus 53 years. A mistrial was declared in June for the Trevillion’s half-brother, 29-year-old Matthew Nash, and a retrial will be scheduled for 2009, District Attorney Ricky Smith said. The fourth brother, 35-year-old Alonzo Trevillion, is set to be tried Feb. 23.

A trial date has not been set for the fifth man charged in the case, 32-year-old Rufus Armstrong.

Armond Trevillion testified the shooting was a result of an argument between his brother, Anthony Trevillion, and Harris who had children with the same woman. Armond stated he was trying to stop the shooting rather than participate in it.

The jury deliberated for about an hour before returning the guilty verdicts.
