Victor Everette Silvers of Clarksville, Tennessee, was convicted by a federal jury Wednesday of first-degree murder, attempted murder, domestic violence resulting in death, violation of a protection order and other counts in the death of Brittney Niecol Silvers of Jacksonville, Florida.<\/p>\n
Silvers faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison, according to U.S. Department of Justice prosecutors. There is no parole in the federal system. The 33-year-old is scheduled to be sentenced February 22 before a U.S. District Court judge for the Western District of Kentucky.<\/p>\n
Court records show a domestic violence order prohibited Victor Silvers from possessing a firearm and ordered him to stay 300 feet away from his wife. An affidavit alleges he went to his estranged wife\u2019s home, where she was socializing with a male friend, and shot both. The friend was wounded but survived.<\/p>\n
Brittney Silvers was assigned to the 96th Aviation Support Battalion at Fort Campbell.
