Jacksonville, Florida (CNN) -- Jurors found Michael Dunn guilty of first-degree murder Wednesday in the 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis. Dunns parents were in the courtroom for the verdict. Davis parents, Ron Davis and Lucia MacBath, both let out a quiet gasp upon hearing the jury forewomans words and then hung their heads and cried. Dunn did not appear to have an immediate reaction, but later, he turned around and somberly shook his head toward his father. Dunn, 47, was charged with murder after shooting into an SUV full of teenagers at a Jacksonville, Florida, gas station following a squabble over the music emanating from the teens vehicle. Outside the courtroom, Davis mother expressed her gratitude for a verdict she said represented justice not only for her son but for Trayvon and for all the nameless faces and children and people that will never have a voice. She was referring to Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teenager killed earlier the same year by a neighborhood watch captain who was acquitted in the death.
