Kevin James Powell was found guilty of first-degree murder and attempted murder for a September 2022 axe attack, which resulted in one death and serious injuries to his brother.
The attack, motivated by Powell's methamphetamine-induced psychosis, involved a three-foot axe as he ambushed the victims at a Motel 6.
The jury noted the great violence and cruelty involved in the crimes, leading to Powell's conviction and a potential life sentence.
Powell's prior conviction for Street Terrorism was significant during the trial, emphasizing his history with violent crimes in relation to gang activity.
