TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A 21-year-old man who has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the fatal 2009 robbery of a Washington state armored car guard faces a maximum 51 years in prison at sentencing.
The News Tribune of Tacoma says Marshawn Turpin also pleaded guilty Tuesday to assault and conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery.
Loomis guard Kurt Husted was shot in the head for a bag of money in June 2009 outside the Lakewood, Wash., Wal-Mart store.
Turpin admitted he accompanied Calvin Finley into the store that day to rob Husted. Finley previously pleaded guilty to shooting Husted and is serving a life sentence. Turpin grabbed Husted’s money bag and ran after the shooting.
