An Akron man will likely be heading back to prison, this time for shooting a family member in the stomach during a wild all-day gathering at a family home.
A Summit County jury found Jonathan Fedrick, 31, of Hallie Street guilty of two counts of Felonious Assault with gun specifications. Fedrick fired a shot during a gathering last March, left and returned later when he confronted another family member and shot the man in the stomach.
Fedrick was recently released from prison where he was doing time for aggravated assault; at the time of the March shooting, he was free on bond after an arrest on separate gun and drug charges.
Sentencing hasn't been scheduled.

(Summit Prosecutor) Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh announced today that jurors found Jonathan Fedrick, 31, of Hallie Street in Akron, guilty of shooting a family member.
It took jurors less than an hour to convict Fedrick of the following charges:
Two counts of Felonious Assault with Gun Specifications – felonies of the second degree
Summit County Common Pleas Court Judge Todd McKenney also found Fedrick guilty of Having a Weapon Under Disability, a felony of the third degree.
In March of 2015, during an all-day gathering at a family member’s home,
Fedrick fired a gun, nearly hitting a woman. Fedrick left, then returned a short while later and confronted the woman’s husband, who was also a family member. Fedrick eventually shot the man once in the stomach at point blank range.
Fedrick was recently released from prison, where he spent time for aggravated assault, and at the time of the March shooting, was out on bond after being arrested on separate gun and drug charges.
Sentencing for Fedrick has yet to be scheduled.
