A Dyer County jury has convicted David Stewart on multiple counts tied to a Nov. 5, 2023, shooting at Midway Bar, the district attorney's office said.
Stewart was found guilty of three counts of attempted first-degree murder. Each count is a Class A felony with a sentencing range of 15 to 25 years and 100 percent release eligibility under Tennessee law, prosecutors said.
Jurors also convicted him of two counts of reckless endangerment and additional related charges stemming from the bar shooting, according to the announcement carried by WBBJ.
The case grew out of a violent night at Midway Bar three years ago that left the community waiting on a full jury trial. Prosecutors said the verdicts reflect the jury's findings on Stewart's role in the gunfire.
Sentencing was expected to follow in a later hearing, where the court will weigh the felony ranges and any consecutive or concurrent terms allowed by statute.
District attorney staff thanked investigators and witnesses who testified through the multi-day proceeding. Local coverage emphasized that the convictions close the guilt phase while punishment remains ahead.
Residents who followed the Midway Bar case since 2023 said the verdicts brought a measure of clarity even as the sentencing date has not been finalized in open court.
West Tennessee viewers following the story through local television will see updates as officials release more detail.
