LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – A Las Vegas jury sentenced a 46-year-old ex-convict to death.
The jury found Robert Brown Jr. guilty of attempting to kill the murder victim’s young niece and her elderly mother.
Brown refused transport to his sentencing.
The attempted murder charges were sentenced by District Court Judge Bluth. He will face 16 to 40 years for each victim plus a total of 32 to 80 years.
Brown’s former girlfriend, 29-year-old Nichole Nick, died in 2012. He also injured her 58-year-old mother.
Police said they found a bullet hole in Nick’s niece’s bed, but the child wasn’t harmed.
Brown has been in custody since Los Angeles police arrested him in April 2014.
In 1998, he was also convicted of attempting to kill his then-wife in California and would spend seven years in prison as a result.
