BRIDGEVILLE, Del. (AP) - A Delaware man has been sentenced to life plus 30 years in prison in a fatal 2018 shooting.

The Delaware Department of Justice announced McArthur Risper’s sentence Friday.

The 30-year-old from Bridgeville was convicted of first-degree murder, conspiracy and a firearms charge in the May 11, 2018, shooting death of Corey Bailey.



Authorities said Bailey was approached by two men who shot him multiple times before fleeing. Witnesses and an anonymous tip led to the identification of Risper.

An investigation into the second suspect is ongoing.
