WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A 20-year-old Wichita man has been sentenced to two life terms plus 228 months in prison for his role in the drug-related shooting deaths of two people early last year.
Jerone Brown was sentenced Friday in the January 2013 shooting deaths of Shawn Rhone and Adji Tampone. He also was convicted of aggravated robbery, attempted aggravated robbery and criminal discharge of a firearm.
He is the third Brown brother sentenced in the killings. The Wichita Eagle (https://bit.ly/1sNMrlB ) reports 21-year-old Shawn Brown received the same sentence in the deaths of Rhone and Tampone, while 22-year-old Milo Brown was sentenced to life for his role in Rhone’s murder.
Police say Rhone was shot during an attempted robbery and Tampone was killed because he owed Shawn Brown $1,000 for crack cocaine.
