S94A1304.

WILLIAMS v. THE STATE.

(453 SE2d 1)

Hunt, Chief Justice.

David Shawn Williams shot a handgun into a crowd killing Terrance Williams (no relation). He was convicted of felony murder with assault of the victim as the underlying felony, and aggravated assault, and sentenced to life in prison.1 He appeals and we affirm.

1. Having reviewed the evidence in the light most favorable to the jury’s determination, we conclude that a rational trier of fact could have found Williams guilty of the crimes for which he was convicted beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979).

2. The record amply supports the trial court’s determination that trial counsel was not ineffective under the standards of Strickland v. Washington, 466 U. S. 668 (104 SC 2052, 80 LE2d 674) (1984), *864adopted by this court in Smith v. Francis, 253 Ga. 782 (325 SE2d 362) (1985).

Decided January 30, 1995.

John E. Pirkle, for appellant.

Dupont K. Cheney, District Attorney, Michael J. Bowers, Attorney General, Susan V. Boleyn, Senior Assistant Attorney General, Michael D. Groves, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

3. We find no merit to Williams’ remaining enumerations of error.2

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
