Jury convicts Decatur gunman in 2019 restaurant shooting : v

DECATUR — Matthew A. Anderson Jr. now faces a sentencing range of 45 years to natural life in prison after a jury convicted him of murder Thursday morning.
Anderson, 22, was found guilty of first-degree murder and the jury also found him guilty of personally discharging a firearm in the Jan. 4, 2019, death of 18-year-old Curtis T. Hairston. The victim was fatally wounded in a bathroom shootout in the former Long John Silver’s restaurant on West Eldorado Street. Anderson was also badly wounded.
The finding that Anderson had used a firearm in the crime automatically adds 25 years to the sentencing range.
The trial had started with jury selection Monday in Macon County Circuit Court and got underway Tuesday. The jury got the case at 3 p.m. Wednesday, asked several questions which Judge James Coryell answered, and then went home for the day at 4:30 p.m.
