(KNZA)--A St. Joseph, Missouri man convicted of the 2018 shooting death of a former Troy man and wounding of another man has learned his fate.
The St. Joseph News Press reports 37-year-old Jessie Lee Nelson was sentenced Monday in Buchanan County Circuit Court to two life sentences, plus an additional 100 years in prison.
A jury found him guilty in November of first-degree murder, first-degree assault and two counts of armed criminal action.
Nelson was convicted of killing 29-year-old Mack Jenkins and seriously wounding 23-year-old Deon Hernandez on August 6, 2018. The shooting left Hernandez paralyzed.
Witnesses told police they saw Nelson fire shots into a vehicle containing the two men after it crashed just north of downtown St. Joseph, and then drive away.
