A jury in Phoenix has sentenced serial killer Cleophus Cooksey Jr. to death.

Cooksey was convicted in connection with the murders of eight people, including his mother and stepfather, back in 2017. During Cooksey’s trial, prosecutors argued that forensic evidence, including bullets from two 9-millimeter guns found at the crime scenes, and GPS data, all linked Cooksey to the string of killings.

The defense, meanwhile, contended that the prosecution’s forensic evidence was unreliable, did not present motives for all the killings, or connections to all the victims. There were also no eyewitnesses. FOX 10’s Kenzie Beach reports.
