Jul. 14—Cham Oman, who was standing trial in the 2023 drive-by shooting death of Gumdel Gilo, was found guilty by a jury Monday in Mower County District Court. Oman will be sentenced on Sept. 18 of this year.

Jenup Stepen Chop, who pleaded guilty to being the one who shot and killed Gilo, was sentenced in February of this year to 50 total months broken down between three felony counts of murder in the second degree-drive by shooting, attempted murder in the first degree-drive by shooting and attempted murder in the first degree-drive by shooting. He received 297 months for the murder charge and 210 and 153 months respectively for the attempted murder charges. The 153 month sentence would run consecutive to the previous two sentences with the 210 month sentence running concurrently. For each sentence, Chop will be required to spend at least two-thirds of the sentence in prison. Manamany Omot Abella pleaded guilty in April of 2024 to a single count of felony aiding an offender — accomplice after the fact and has been sentenced to prison. Story will be updated as more information becomes available.
