DENVER (AP) - A Colorado man has been sentenced to 44 years in prison for killing a man while he slept and pointing a gun at the man’s elderly mother before stealing two freezer bags of marijuana.
The Denver Post reports 36-year-old Ronnie Williams was sentenced Thursday on a second-degree murder charge stemming from the December 2016 home invasion that left 55-year-old Steven Kent dead.
Prosecutors say Williams and 25-year-old Corey Carroll broke into the Adams County home wearing ski masks and rubber gloves. Williams shot Kent in his bedroom, then held a gun to 80-year-old Marilyn Kent’s head before Carroll convinced him not to shoot her.
