Ohio Man Found Guilty Of Murdering Teens Smoking Weed In His Garage

A jury found a Dayton, Ohio man guilty of murdering two 17-year-olds he found smoking marijuana in his detached garage in August 2019.

Victor Santana, 65, was convicted of four counts of murder, four counts of felonious assault, and one count of attempted murder. Each of the counts comes with a three-year firearm specification. He was found not guilty on one count of felonious assault.

According to authorities, Santana shot Javier Harrison and Devin Henderson while smoking weed in a car in his detached garage. Ja’shin Gibson, who was there with Harrison and Henderson, testified that Santana opened the door and fired shots without warning.

“He didn’t say nothing at all,” Gibson told the court. Gibson hid under a car and was not injured during the shooting.

Santana remains in Montgomery County Jail and is scheduled to be sentenced on December 20.
