GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A man accused of fatally shooting a woman near the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay campus last year has been sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 40 years.
Twenty-seven-year-old Percy Sims was sentenced Tuesday in Brown County in the death of 39-year-old Krystal Torres-Smith, the mother of three children. Her body was found in an SUV in a park along the bay of Green Bay in June 2015. She had been shot multiple times.
WBAY-TV (http://bit.ly/28ZXd33 ) reports the victim's 14-year-old daughter told Sims in court through her tears that he should have "eternal misery." Sims said that he deserved everything that was coming to him.
Sims earlier pleaded guilty to first-degree intentional homicide. The complaint says Sims had set up a meeting with Torres-Smith to buy marijuana.
