\nAn Alvaton man was sentenced Wednesday afternoon for the 2020 murders of his grandparents.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s garage.<\/p>\n
Police responded to the home and found 65 year-old Larry G. Howell 63 year-old and Deborah K. Howell dead.<\/p>\n
Police later determined Wright murdered the two and left the home in his grandfather\u2019s pickup truck. He was found at a nearby home still wearing a bloody shirt and socks.<\/p>\n
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.
