A jury in Akron has found Dacarrei Kinard guilty of several charges, including voluntary manslaughter, for last year’s alleged road rage shooting death of George “Geo” Jensen on I76 in Norton.

The verdict was read by Summit County Common Pleas Court Judge Kathryn Michael on Wednesday afternoon.

While jurors did find Kinard not guilty of murder, they found him guilty on two counts of voluntary manslaughter, one count of felonious assault and one count of discharging of a firearm on or near prohibited premises. A charge of of improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle was dropped.

"Frankly, we're a little disappointed, but we are glad that we did get guilty on manslaughter," Geo's father George Jensen Sr. told 3News. "He was adamantly against guns and all of the gun violence that was going on, so its really sad that that's the way he went.

Jensen Sr. believes there is a lesson to be learned in this tragedy.

"We have to learn from this, to back off on the freeway and not get so angry, let things go," he said. "It's hard. We know a lot of this is going on."
