\"\"TYLER – Our news partners at KETK report that Lee-Autrey Jodeci \u201cJody\u201d Morgan, 33 of Tyler, has been sentenced to 30 years in state prison on Monday for the 2023 murder of his brother. Morgan was arrested for murder on July 15, 2023, after his brother, Jaraine Johnson, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds in the backyard of a home. The district attorney\u2019s office said a 9mm handgun found in Morgan\u2019s truck was matched to bullet casings recovered from the crime scene where Johnson was killed. Two court-appointed mental health experts examined Morgan, and testified that he was competent to stand trial even though he suffers from paranoid personality disorder and schizophrenia. 241st District Court Judge Debby Gunter accepted Morgan\u2019s guilty plea on Monday. He\u2019ll be eligible for parole in 15 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
