JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A Jackson man has been given a life sentence for a 2011 murder.
WLBT-TV reports that Willie Barnard received the sentence in Hinds County for the shooting death of 28-year-old Larry Johnson in March 2011.
The two had argued at Jackson's Arbor Park Apartments when Bernard shot Johnson in the arm and chest. Johnson died the next day.
