A jury found Mazzetti Alexander guilty of malice murder, felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault and four counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. The trial court entered judgments of conviction on the malice murder count and one of the firearm counts and sentenced Alexander to life imprisonment for the murder and five years in confinement for the firearm offense. The felony murder verdict was vacated by operation of law. Malcolm v. State , 263 GA. 369 1993. The remaining offenses were merged into the malice murder. The trial court denied a motion for a new trial, and Alexander appeals. 1. Construed most strongly to support the verdicts, the evidence shows that Alexander and Tiffany Davis had a verbal confrontation, during which Alexander shot and killed Ms. Davis with a handgun. Alexander threw down the gun and fled from the scene. Witnesses called the police and identified Alexander as the shooter. A short time later, the gun was recovered from the scene and Alexander was apprehended. He told a Georgia Bureau of Investigation special agent that he carried the gun for protection and he admitted that he had killed the victim. Alexander stated that when the victim arrived at the scene she had her hands in her back pockets and began walking toward him, that she did not threaten or push him, but gestured at him with one hand and asked if they had a problem, that he responded to her, and that he then got scared and shot her. The evidence is sufficient to authorize a rational trier of fact to find Jackson guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U. S. 307 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979.
We note that Alexander also challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the guilty verdicts as to the other charged offenses. However, the trial court did not enter judgment of conviction or sentence Alexander for any of those offenses. Therefore, we need not address the sufficiency of the evidence with regard to those offenses. Carter v. State , 269 Ga. 420, 422 2 499 SE2d 63 1998.
