A Texas man who traveled hundreds of miles to kill his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend but ended up killing the wrong man has been sentenced to 27 years in prison.
Kendell Morris, 26, was sentenced after he was found guilty of manslaughter in the death of Robert Cooley III, Fox 4 reported.
According to the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, Morris drove from Houston to Arlington on May 4, 2020, to shoot his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend but mistakenly shot Cooley, 24, instead.
Houston and Arlington are about 250 miles apart.
Investigators said Morris believed she saw the boyfriend in the parking lot of an apartment complex on Bardin Greene Drive in Arlington.
He then shot and killed Cooley, who was not the man Morris was looking for.
Morris was arrested that day in the town of Madisonville, which is located near Houston.
Manslaughter charges against a second suspect in connection with the shooting have been dismissed, according to court records.
