A 22-year-old Hurricane Katrina evacuee was sentenced to life plus 40 years in prison for killing a Jonesboro teenager for his car rims, Channel 2 Action News reported Thursday.
Dominic Trent Stacey was found guilty of shooting 19-year-old Andrew Todd Gibby during an attempt to steal his 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and its rims in November 2006.
Gibby was shot in the face and neck while trying to get away from the scene behind the Publix in Lovejoy. His passenger was also wounded but survived. Gibby died when his car went over the edge of an embankment and into a retention pond.
Fellow Katrina evacuee Joseph Jerome Dedeaux II, 21, of Gulfport, Miss., pleaded guilty last month to aggravated assault for setting up the robbery and shooting. He must serve at least 15 years of a 20-year sentence, Channel 2 said.
