RENO, Nev. (AP) - A man convicted of murder in a 2017 Reno killing has been sentenced to life in prison.
The District Attorney’s Office announced Friday that a judge sentenced Dontay Thor Sevier to life in prison without the possibility of parole on his murder conviction plus 20 years for a deadly weapon enhancement.
Sevier was returned to Nevada in early 2018 from Tempe, Arizona, to face charges in the death of 26-year-old Vidal Smith.
Smith was found dead on a downtown Reno street on Aug. 31, 2017.
A jury convicted Sevier in June after a weeklong trial.
