According to reports, former Michigan State University basketball standout Keith Appling has been sentenced to prison after being convicted of 2nd-degree murder in connection to the May 2021 shooting and death of Clyde Edmonds.
Wayne County Prosecutor's office also noted that Appling will also serve two consecutive years, for a felony firearm charge, in the Michigan Department of Corrections. This comes on the heels of Appling pleading guilty to the second-degree and felony firearm charges on Feb 13.
“What an extremely sad turn of events for a man that once had a promising future. This was a senseless crime, and the fact remains that his victim will never know another day of life,” said Prosecutor Kym Worthy.
Per Yahoo Sports:
"Appling, 31, was charged in June 2021 for the fatal shooting of Edmonds, 66, on Whitcomb Street in Detroit, whose wife is Appling's mother's first cousin. Appling's girlfriend, Natalie Bannister, was also charged as an accessory to the shooting and for lying to officers; she pleaded guilty to the lying charge in July 2022 and received 1.5 years of probation, and the accessory charge was dismissed."
