Man Pleads Guilty to Killing Roommate | Winston–Salem News

A Forsyth County man got 26 to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to shooting his roommate twice in the head on July 4, 2022, then stealing his wallet and fleeing — all while impaired. The court also convicted him of assault with a deadly weapon and attempted breaking and entering. His wild escape led to a high-speed chase across I-40, where he fired at police, damaged a patrol car, and even called 911 asking for redemption. He told investigators he killed his roommate because he felt the victim was better than him. Despite his father-in-law begging for mercy, prosecutors said the sentence sends a clear message: justice for the victim’s family.
