A Second Conviction, Sentence in Kilgore Man’s Death

ALPINE – A second person has been found guilty and sentenced for the first-degree felony murder of Kilgore native Walter “Trey” Sands. The Kilgore News Herald reports a jury in Alpine deliberated less than an hour Friday afternoon before finding Charles Levi Morrow (pictured) guilty. The sentencing phase of the trial started after the verdict was returned, and Morrow was handed a term of 55 years behind bars along with a $10,000 fine. Earlier this month Keith Allen McWilliams was sentenced to life in prison for Sands’s death. A murder charge against a third suspect was dropped last summer. The men had been accused of beating, stabbing and shooting the 28-year-old Kilgore High School alumnus and burying the man under a half-ton of rocks in the area known as Terlingua Ranch.
