TULSA, Okla. (AP) - A man convicted of fatally shooting four women in 2013 has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.
A Tulsa judge gave James Poore four life terms on Monday after his March conviction for the murders of 23-year-old twins Rebeika Powell and Kayetie Melchor, 33-year-old Misty Nunley and 55-year-old Julie Jackson.
Poore’s brother, Cedric, is accused of the same crimes and goes to trial in December. He’s pleaded not guilty.
The four women were discovered Jan. 7, 2013, in a back bedroom of Powell’s apartment. All had their hands tied behind their backs with blue or pink fabric and were shot in the head.
Authorities believe the Poores shot the four because they feared the women might identify them.
