An Atlantic City man has been convicted of murder for shooting a 10-year-old boy at a high school football game and wounding two other people in 2019.
Alvin Wyatt, 35, of Atlantic City, had argued that he acted in self-defense when he opened fire at Pleasantville High School on Nov. 15, 2019. The shooting left a man and two children wounded. One of the children, Michah Tennant, was shot in the neck while he watched the game with his mother and sister.
Tennant died five days later, just hours before the playoff game was resumed at the Philadelphia Eagles stadium. All three victims were in the stands during a crowded playoff game between the Camden Panthers and the Pleasantville Greyhounds.Besides the murder charge, Wyatt was also convicted Thursday on two counts of attempted murder and three weapons charges. He faces life in prison when he’s sentenced on Sept. 11.
