JOHNSON COUNTY —Two more suspects have been sentenced for the 2019 murder of a Kansas teen in his new apartment complex in Overland Park.
This week Judge Charles Droege sentenced 26-year-old Alan Michael Hicks to nearly 18-years in prison, according to the Johnson County District Attorney's office.
Judge Droege also sentenced 21-year-old Juriah Sue Jones to ten years in prison for her role in the murder.
In October Hicks pled guilty to charges in the death of 17-year-old Ben Workman who was killed in an apartment complex near 80th and Farley streets in January 2019. Jones pled guilty in September to second-degree murder and aggravated robbery.
Workman had recently moved into his apartment with his girlfriend two weeks before he was killed, according to Overland Park police.
Raymond Cherry was also charged in connection with Workman's death. Cherry was found guilty of first-degree murder and received a life sentence in April, according to the district attorney's office.
