Listen to this articleMILWAUKEE (AP) — A Milwaukee man accused of killing two men following a dice game has been sentenced to 40 years in prison.
The Journal Sentinel reports that 44-year-old Antonio Mays was found guilty in October of felony murder, first-degree reckless homicide and two counts of possessing a firearm as a felon.
Authorities say Mays fatally shot 20-year-old Malyk Smith and 34-year-old Romale Richardson. Witnesses said a relative of Mays lost money in the dice game and Mays returned to the house with a gun.
