Jury Convicts Two People In Columbus Drug House Slaying

Sentencing is scheduled January 21st for two men convicted of a fatal robbery at a Columbus drug house. A Franklin County jury has found 20-year-old Paris Boone and 22-year-old Vincent White guilty of aggravated murder and other charges. The pair killed Keith Paxton and Albert Thompson and wounded Juanricus Kibby and Miquel Williams in July of last year while robbing a South Linden drug house. The trial was held under tight security because of tensions between the suspects' and victims' families and threats that Boone and White would try to escape.
