Craigslist Robbery Suspect Sentenced

U.S. Attorney's Office

Federal prosecutors say the last of three defendants in two Craigslist robberies has been sentenced to more than 42 years in prison. 31-year-old Raphael Person is one of three people charged with killing 26-year-old Brandon Leonard at his west side home in May of 2012. Leonard had posted ads to sell used cars. Prosecutors say the other defendants,  Mickey Velazquez and Jonathan Flores Oquendo, have already been sentenced to prison time.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
