MARION — A man recently convicted in the 2019 murder of a 65-year-old Marion woman and the wounding of her grandson has been sentenced to 44 years in prison.
Cheryl Mann was shot to death at her Marion home on March 9, 2019. Her 30-year-old grandson, Jonathon Lovell, was wounded.
A few hours after the incident, 32-year-old William McCarty was arrested after police were tipped off about his whereabouts.
