A man who was found guilty of stabbing a victim in a shopping plaza in Niles was sentenced on Tuesday afternoon.

Fifty-two-year-old Kenyon Kellum will serve 8 to 12 years in prison, after a jury found him guilty on two felony counts of felonious assault.

Kellum was also charged with attempted murder, but the jury returned a not guilty verdict on that charge.

The two felonious assault charges stem from an incident in the Gentry Center shopping plaza on Route 422 in Niles, where Kellum stabbed a man in the neck during an argument.

Kellum then fled the scene, but was soon found and arrested at a hotel less than a mile away from the plaza.

Kellum's co-defendant, Zulekha Berry, is currently facing an attempted murder charge. Her case was bound over to a Trumbull County grand jury in February. The grand jury has yet to return a verdict in her case.
