Man found guilty of murder in 2020 killing of 8-year-old Secoriea Turner in Atlanta
Julian Conley was sentenced to life plus 25 years for fatally shooting 8-year-old Secoriea Turner during protests against police brutality, prosecutors said.
- On Friday, a jury in Atlanta convicted Julian Conley, 25, of murder, aggravated assault and gang-related charges in the July 4, 2020 death of 8-year-old Secoriea Turner.
- Protesters had camped at the Wendy's in south Atlanta for weeks after Rayshard Brooks' death, while armed men occupied makeshift barricades blocking roads nearby.
- Jurors saw video showing a man pointing an assault rifle before the shooting, and prosecutor Adam Abbate identified Julian Conley as the man firing eight bullets into the Jeep.
- On Friday the court imposed life without parole plus 25 years for the murder, citing Conley's `reckless disregard for the life of this child` under Georgia murder law; earlier this month, Jerrion McKinney received a 40-year sentence with 20 years to serve.
- Prosecutors alleged Conley and Jerrion McKinney were tied to the Bloods criminal street gang and aimed to `terrorize people in the community`, while Secoriea Turner's mother, Charmaine Turner, urged maximum punishment and defense attorney Arnold Ragus blamed city officials for unsafe conditions.
