Man serving life for murder gets 25 years for another

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A local man serving a life sentence for murder received an additional 25 years for the murder of another person.

According to the District Attorney’s office, 24-year-old Deangelo Taylor was found guilty of the second-degree murder of Robert Williams, 40, back in July.

Taylor was sentenced to 25 years in prison on a murder charge and six years for attempted aggravated robbery.

WREG was told Williams was shot in the head on November 25, 2009 in South Memphis.

However, this wasn’t the first time Taylor was found guilty and sentenced for murder in a court of law.

Just last year, he was also sentenced to life in prison for the 2010 murder of 21-year-old Lyle King, who was shot nine times while trying to break up a fight on McMillian.

The most recent sentences will be served concurrent to one another, but after the life sentence.
