An Alvaton man was sentenced Wednesday afternoon for the 2020 murders of his grandparents.
Joshua L. Wright, 22, was arrested on November 4, 2020, after police responded to 3720 H.E. Johnson Road in reference to a welfare check. Police were advised a woman found her father dead inside the home’s garage.
Police responded to the home and found 65 year-old Larry G. Howell 63 year-old and Deborah K. Howell dead.
Police later determined Wright murdered the two and left the home in his grandfather’s pickup truck. He was found at a nearby home still wearing a bloody shirt and socks.
Wright was sentenced to life in prison on charges of murder, first-degree robbery, and tampering with physical evidence. He is not eligible for parole until he has served at least 25 years.
