A man convicted of fatally shooting four women in 2013 has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.

A Tulsa judge gave James Poore four life terms on Monday after his March conviction for the murders of 23-year-old twins Rebeika Powell and Kayetie Melchor, 33-year-old Misty Nunley and 55-year-old Julie Jackson.

His brother Cedric will go on trial for the same crime later this year. The murders took place at the Fairmont Terrace Apartments near 61st and South Peoria.
