(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.
