Kevin Dudley is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, use of a firearm during a violent crime and possession of a firearm with a felony conviction in connection to an incident that occurred on June 3, 2021.
During reception court on Wednesday, Judge Phinn listened as the prosecutor presented a plea of life for first-degree murder, and 20 years without parole for use of a firearm during a violent crime. The charges are set to run concurrently.
