A former pastor in Detroit has been sentenced to eight years in prison for the 2018 shooting death of a transgender woman, Kelly Stough, ending nearly five years of court proceedings over the case.
On Friday, Judge Bridget Hathaway of the 36th District Court in Detroit, Michigan, sentenced Albert Weathers, 50, of Sterling Heights, for fatally shooting Stough, 36.
Six weeks prior, on July 27, Weathers had pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and felony use of a firearm as part of a plea agreement with the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.
