Mpls man gets life in prison for killing girlfriend

Johnny Brown was sentenced to life in prison for the first-degree murder of his girlfriend, Kesha Moore, who was fatally shot during a domestic dispute in December 2023. The sentencing took place in Hennepin County, where Judge Carolina Lamas also imposed a concurrent 15-year sentence for Brown's illegal possession of a firearm. The tragic incident unfolded in their Minneapolis apartment, where Brown and Moore engaged in a heated argument over accusations of infidelity. Brown's defense claimed the shooting was accidental, stating he had taken the gun from Moore when it discharged. However, the jury found him guilty of multiple charges, including first-degree murder with a pattern of domestic abuse.

Moore's family, devastated by the loss, is pursuing restitution to cover her funeral expenses amounting to $8,363. 90. This case highlights the serious issue of domestic violence and its devastating consequences. If you or someone you know is facing domestic violence, resources are available, including the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
