Raymond Childs III was sentenced to 360 years in prison for the murder of six people, including his own family members. He received 55 years for each murder charge and 30 years for attempting to kill his younger brother, Xavier. Childs showed no remorse during the sentencing, proclaiming his innocence and expressing love for those in the courtroom.
The tragic shooting occurred in January 2021 following an argument over Childs staying out too late. Prosecutors described the incident as premeditated and methodical. Despite his age at the time, 17, Childs was sentenced accordingly with disappointment from the prosecution over his lack of remorse.
Childs’ mother believes in his innocence, pointing towards the troubled environment he grew up in as a possible factor in his actions. His sister described him as a caring person and expressed sadness over the portrayal of him as a monster.
The jury found Childs guilty in a short amount of time in October. While the sentence may provide some closure to the families of the victims, the case remains a tragic reminder of the consequences of violence within families.
