A jury convicted one of the two men charged in the fatal shooting at the Philadelphia Mills mall. The other was acquitted of all charges. Gregory Smith, 23, was found guilty Thursday of third-degree murder and related charges for killing 21-year-old Dominic Billa and firing at his cousin after a fist fight broke out in the mall's food court in March 2021. Joseph Dorsey, who was cleared of all charges, will be released from prison.
