A jury will decide the fate of two suspects in a Beloit triple shooting.

32-year-old Gregory Carter and 28-year-old Anthony Sims are both charged with first-degree recklessly endangering safety for the shooting that killed 21-year-old Treron White of Beloit.

Neither man is charged with homicide, but Beloit police believe they were the two shooters present when White was killed and two others were injured in March of 2019.

Rock County Judge Barbara McCrory denied a motion on Friday from Carter’s attorney Jeff Purnell that would have delayed the trial, which begins Monday morning with jury selection.

Purnell raised concerns about Carter’s ability to assist in his own defense because of the medications he takes to treat his cancer that has spread to his lungs, brain and spine.

Carter and Sims are co-defendants in the case with separate attorneys, and the jury is expected to issue a verdict for each of them by the end of the week.

Assistant Attorney General Annie Jay is prosecuting the case due to a potential conflict of interest with the Rock County District Attorney’s Office.
