Foreman sentenced to life without parole in Lexus Lounge killing
Floyd County Superior Court Judge Billy Sparks gives Jamal Nevin Foreman the maximum sentence.
A collage of pictures in a courtroom illustrated the memory of a Rome man murdered after a club let out on East Main Street in 2014.
The images showed 28-year-old Wreno Dantoine Fain in life before he was gunned down at the Lexus Lounge by Jamal Nevin Foreman.
Floyd County Superior Court Judge Billy Sparks on Monday gave Foreman the maximum sentence, life without parole plus five years for the murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Foreman was convicted in February. Assistant District Attorney John McClellan asked for the maximum, saying Foreman didn’t show any remorse for or acceptance of the killing.
The shooting was a result of an earlier confrontation, McClellan said during the trial, and on July 20, 2014 — for whatever reason — Foreman opened fire.
During the trial McClellan said Fain had tried to flee, but Foreman chased him down firing shot after shot.
“There were five bullets found in his body,” McClellan said.
People were leaving the club after closing and when police arrived there were approximately 200 people in the parking lot screaming and yelling.
Fain was found by medics between two cars and died later as a result of his wounds.
Foreman fled the scene and was arrested the next day at a home on Maple Avenue, where he was found asleep on the floor. His shoes were still spattered with blood, police said.
