A 25-year-old Little Rock man was sentenced to life in prison on Thursday for killing his business partner three years ago.
A Pulaski County jury convicted Curtis Dorsey of first-degree murder and sentenced him to the maximum punishment following a day of testimony.
Dorsey, who did not take the stand, spent about eight months as a fugitive following the Labor Day 2016 slaying of Sharniece Hughes, 35, outside her Mabelvale Pike home.
Prosecutors said his efforts to evade capture, plus testimony from a witness who saw Dorsey talking to Hughes just minutes before she was killed, proved his guilt.
The pair owned a frozen-dessert food truck, but witnesses said they had some kind of falling out over the business the morning Hughes was killed.
