A few months prior on June 24, 2019, McFadden shot another victim in the stomach over a bicycle along Aries Way. The victim, who was 36 at the time, survived their injuries, officials said.
Investigators matched shell casings found at both crime scenes. McFadden was also convicted of two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
