   DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Jesus Mendez, 23, was convicted   
   Tuesday of the murder and robbery of a South L.A. businessman.   
   Mendez disrupted court last week when he attacked an attorney   
   and a detective in court with a chair.   
      
   Mendez was convicted of first-degree murder and second-degree   
   robbery. A jury found him guilty of luring and ambushing Jamie   
   Sharif Mohammad Abuawad, 27, a gold buyer, a block from his   
   residence in April 2012.   
      
   Abuawad was shot three times with .380-caliber revolver,   
   according to the L.A. County District Attorney's Office, after   
   Mendez called him four times that day, the last call coming   
   shortly before the murder. Mendez made off with $300 and two   
   cellphones.   
      
   Last Wednesday, Mendez, a gang member, was escorted unrestrained   
   into the courtroom in civilian clothes. He picked up a chair and   
   threw it at an LAPD detective and an L.A. County deputy district   
   attorney.   
      
   The detective was hospitalized with an injury to the back of her   
   head and shoulder area, and was listed in good condition. The   
   deputy district attorney was hit in the upper torso and was   
   treated at the scene for minor injuries, according to the L.A.   
   County Sheriff's Department.   
      
   The defendant was subdued by the bailiff and other officers. The   
   jury was not present when the chair-throwing incident occurred,   
   but family members of the victim in the murder case were in the   
   courtroom and witnessed the attack. Mendez had not previously   
   displayed hostility in court.   
      
   Mendez is scheduled to be sentenced on February 11. He faces up   
   to life in prison without possibility of parole, the D.A.'s   
   office said.   
      
   Jurors spent less than three hours deliberating.

   Sentence him and then shoot him in both knees.
