ATLANTA, GEORGIA - A jury in Atlanta on Friday found a man guilty of murder and other charges and was sentenced to life in prison in the July 2020 shooting death of an 8-year-old girl who was riding in an SUV near a weekslong protest at the site where police had fatally shot a Black man.
Julian Conley, 25, was convicted of murder, aggravated assault and gang-related charges in the killing of Secoriea Turner. Murder carries a mandatory life sentence in Georgia. The judge is left to decide whether or not to grant the possibility of parole, which is not allowed until 30 years of the sentence has been served.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Rachelle Carnesale sentenced Conley to serve life in prison without the possibility of parole on the murder charge because of his “reckless disregard for the life of this child.” He was also sentenced to an additional 25 years on other charges.
A second man, Jerrion McKinney, earlier this month received a 40-year sentence, with 20 years to serve in prison after pleading guilty to aggravated assault, gun and gang-related charges in the girl’s death.
