On Tuesday, a man in Pike County, Alabama, was sentenced after pleading guilty to charges in connection to the death of a woman in 2021.
Evidence revealed in court showed that on October 26, 2021, 35-year-old Dustin Byrd and Jena Jo Milani had been traveling together on Henderson Highway. Then, at some point, Byrd pulled out a gun and shot Milani in the head and face four times. After that, he got a hold of the steering wheel of the moving vehicle, pushed the victim onto the highway, and left the location. The next day, Milani’s body was discovered by authorities.
Byrd was captured not too long after that and confessed to the killing.
He was taken into custody for the death of Milani and for the possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
On Tuesday, Byrd was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
