20-YEAR-OLD FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER

(Richmond, IN)--Sentencing has now been set for June 3 for Richmond’s most newly convicted murderer.  Rickey Porter was just 18 years old when he shot and killed 18-year-old Nathaniel Reed when the two sat in different vehicles at a red light at the intersection of South 8th and A two years ago.  Another person in Reid’s car was also shot but survived.  A Wayne County jury on Friday found Porter guilty of both murder and attempted murder.  Porter, who is now 20 years old, faces a standard 55-year prison term when he’s sentenced next month.
