SALISBURY, Md.- A Maryland man has been sentenced to life without parole after a 2017 murder in Salisbury.
Police say on June 10 of last year, Anthony Cropper, 57, was at his home on the 1100 block of Middleneck Drive when three men attempted to rob his home. One of the suspects, Ryan Holden, eventually shot Cropper in the chest; he later died as a result of that gunshot wound.
Holden was convicted by a Wicomico County jury back in May of first-degree Murder, Attempted Armed Robbery and Handgun Use in the Commission of a Felony back. He was sentenced for first-degree murder plus an additional 10 years for use of a handgun in commission of a violent crime on Wednesday.
The other two suspects, John Schoolfield and Courtlen Coston, have entered guilty pleas.
