A jury convicted a Springfield man Wednesday of several charges relating to a shooting last year.

Joseph Windsor was convicted of attempted murder, felonious assault and discharge of a firearm over prohibited premises for shooting a man on West Grand Avenue on Sept. 24.

The victim was found in the street with gunshot wounds to his leg, hip and back, according to court records. He was transported to Mercy Health – Springfield before being transferred to Miami Valley Hospital for “serious physical harm injuries.”

Detectives learned that a suspect ran to a home on the 100 block of West Grand Avenue — about a mile south of downtown Springfield — after the shooting, and later fled after changing to different clothing, according to court records. When police searched the house, they found Windsor’s original clothing and a .40 caliber box of ammunition matching casings collected at the scene of the shooting, according to court records.

Surveillance video from the home was used to identify Windsor as “the suspect who was wearing the red sweatshirt, blue jeans and black shoes prior to the shooting as he was yelling to his west ...”

Another video from the 200 block of West Grand Avenue allegedly shows Windsor walk into the street toward the victim and pull out a handgun and shoot as the victim turned to walk away. The victim fell to the street and Windsor allegedly stood over him while pointing the gun before fleeing, according to court records.
