Police said Thompson and Kywaun Washington walked up to Mikey Burnett and asked to use his cell phone as Burnett and his son were leaving the gym. As Burnett was about to give him his phone, Thompson pulled out a gun, pointed it at Burnett and demanded his wallet, according to police.
Burnett was shot several times as he tried to move the gun away from his face. He survived the shooting.
Thompson is set to be sentenced on April 3, 2017.
The case is still pending against Washington who is being held in a juvenile facility.
