DENVER (AP) - A 22-year-old man who last month received two life sentences for two 2015 killings has been sentenced to a third life sentence without parole for a fatal shooting at an Aurora bar.
The Denver Post reports that Kenneth Ray Banks pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder Monday afternoon and then was immediately sentenced.
He is accused of fatally shooting Fallon Devon Dewitt and wounding Michael Vincent Green outside a bar in November 2015 after asking the men for a cigarette.
