Jaahad Ingram, 23 and Zaire Wallace, 30, were found guilty for the shooting, which killed Jennifer Vorn, a 24-year-old Pennsylvania resident and left another victim permanently paralyzed, Union County Prosecutor William Daniel and Plainfield Police Director James Abney said. 

Ingram and Wallace followed the two victims before getting out of their black Buick SUV at Rock Avenue and West Front Street with handguns, firing 16 rounds into the victim's vehicle, authorities said. They were apprehended later that evening, authorities said.

The jury deliberated for three days before delivering its verdict, authorities said. Ingram and Wallace were also convicted of attempted murder in the first degree, and multiple weapons offenses, authorities said.

Ingram and Wallace face up to life in state prison when they are sentenced in January.
