Jury finds Sarasota man guilty of manslaughter connected to fatal Ackerman Park shooting

“I’m gonna air this b**** out.”

Those were the words three witnesses claimed hearing the night of Dec. 29, 2021, before their friend allegedly stuck a black revolver outside the window from the backseat of a gold Hyundai and fired multiple shots into a crowd of roughly 50 people at Ackerman Park.

One bullet fatally struck 18-year-old Dylan Jenkins , a graduate of Riverview High School and star athlete, who was home from college for winter break.

Jenkins was pronounced dead by paramedics in a nearby public library parking lot.
