The News & Observer reports that Michael Todd Hill, 54, of Leland, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced Friday in the killing of 23-year-old Keonna Graham of Navassa. Graham was reported missing on July 20, 2020. She was later found dead in a hotel with a gunshot wound to the back of the head.
In a news release from the 15th Prosecutorial District of North Carolina, prosecutors said surveillance footage from the hotel showed Hill was the only person in the room with Graham. They said Hill later confessed to shooting Graham after she had been texting with other men while at the hotel.
Hill won $10 million from a scratch-off ticket in August 2017, WECT-TV reported.
Money cannot buy you happiness!!!
Did he think his young girlfriend was with him for his handsome face or his charming personality? Girls that age only look at men his age for money.
Of course she is talking to other men, probably they were giving her directions on how to empty his bank account.
The money bought his a young girlfriend
Because most lottery winners are also lottery ticket buyers, they don’t represent the most intelligent and mentally stable of society.
“A fool and his money are soon parted”
In addition to his lfe without parole, he should also be receiving a public flogging everyday for the rest of his entire life, in order to be an even bigger deterrent to all future potential murderers
