A man from Howard County is facing up to 60 years in prison for the shooting death of an 18-year-old from Montgomery County, the Howard County State’s Attorney’s Office said.

24-year-old. Shawndel Arnez Weems was found guilty of the second-degree murder of Simeon Makuna. Weems shot Makuna multiple times while Makuna was walking away from his car in the 7500 block of Monarch Mills Way on February 6, 2021.

Weems later told investigators that he did not know Makuna at all and only shot him because he felt he was giving him a malice look, the office reports. Makuna also had no weapon on him, the office added.

Weems sentencing date is scheduled for September 30.
