OPELIKA, Ala. (AP) – A judge sentenced a man to 90 years in prison in a 2017 shooting that left two people dead inside a home.

News outlets report that a Lee County judge sentenced 29-year-old Jacquavious Greathouse of Auburn on Thursday in the deaths of 27-year-old Sedric Lewis and 31-year-old Derris Harris.

Authorities say the two men were inside a house that was peppered with multiple gunshots from a rifle and a pistol. Rounds pieced windows and walls, killing the two.

Jurors convicted Greathouse in the slayings in November. Another man, John Willie Maddox, also is charged in the killings and is awaiting trial.
