DETROIT, MICHIGAN - A Detroit mother and her boyfriend will spend decades in prison for the abuse and murder of her 7-year-old son.
Alisha Hollamon, 25, was sentenced Thursday to 20-40 years in prison, while Avion Traylor, 23, received a 28-60-year sentence after they both pleaded guilty to homicide in connection with the 2023 death of Deshawn Williams.
While handing down the sentencing, Wayne County Third Circuit Court Juge Paul Cusick said that he believes both deserve to spend the high end of those sentences behind bars. He added that he hopes the parole board hears that and remembers that when it is time to review the case.
