Then, the SUV crashed head-on into another car.

Fire crews needed the jaws of life to get the people out of the Volkswagen, and they were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

No one else was injured.

Police say a man died after he was shot in the head overnight inside a Richmond apartment. Police say the two people charged in connection to the crime are a mother and son who live in that apartment.

It was around 2 a.m. Sunday morning when police were called out to the Turpin Drive apartments. Neighbors say they heard arguing late last night but they didn’t hear a gunshot.

The Madison County coroner says 37-year-old Ronnie Kelly died of a single gunshot wound to he head and was found somewhere inside the apartment. Sunday morning, Richmond Police charged Adrian Collins with the murder. Police charged his mother, Melissa Collins, with tampering with physical evidence after police say she tried to hide the murder weapon.

People who live near the apartment where the shooting happened say they didn’t personally know the people involved but they say the victim was staying with the suspects.

“He was a good guy, never bothered nobody, got along with everybody. Kind of a quiet guy,” said neighbor Tony LeCompte.

The suspects are in the Madison County Detention Center.

An Ellis County jury sentenced Sophia Martinez Castillo, 44, of Dallas, to 10 years in prison and a fine of $10,000 for identify theft on Wednesday.

Castillo was specifically charged with possessing the victim’s name, date of birth, address and social security number.

On May 5, 2014, Castillo used stolen identification to rent a moving truck and attempted to purchase more than $4,000 worth of shingles from a building supply company in Ennis. The building supply company suspected a fraud and contacted Ennis police. Castillo falsely identified herself with the victim’s information to the police but there were outstanding warrants for the arrest of Castillo’s victims, which were executed by the police. Only after Castillo was arrested was her true identity established.

A search of the rented moving truck found multiple notebooks containing identifying information of several people along with an estimated 100 credit card numbers. Castillo has several prior felony convictions for forgery, tampering with a governmental record and fraudulent use of possession of identifying information.

Pointing to Castillo’s criminal history, assistant county and district attorney Rickey Sipes asked the jury for the maximum sentence. He argued that she received probation in 2003 and short prison sentences in 2009 and 20012 from the Dallas and Tarrant Counties courts.

“It is now time to send her to prison for the maximum punishment allowed,” he argued.

The jury returned with a maximum sentence after deliberating for 15 minutes.

The convicted rapist and robber, Floyd Ray Cook, was shot and killed Friday morning.

“What I did, of course the lights come on, and he stood right here just as still as he could be,” said Cross. “I thought I was seeing something.”

Cross immediately went inside the house and called police.

“We were able to tighten up our perimeter look in a smaller area and eventually came into contact with him,” said Trooper Billy Gregory, Kentucky State Police.

Trooper Gregory said the helicopter was able to spot Cook with a thermal camera.

He was lying in an embankment, armed.

When two troopers and a U.S. Marshal approached Cook, he opened fire.

“I said get in the bathroom,” Cross said. “Get in the bathroom away from the windows.”

Hours later, the Cumberland County Coroner pronounced Cook dead at the scene.

“Regardless of who he was and what his history was we hate that it ended this way,” said Trooper Gregory. “That’s not what we want ever.”

With Cook shot dead and his alleged accomplices behind bars people in Cumberland County say they’ll sleep a little better.

“I hate it,” said a neighbor.”I hate it but he had to go.”

“I hate it had come to this but you know we didn’t know what he was gonna do,” said Cross. “He had a chance to turn himself in and he didn’t.”

Troopers say Cook was shot several times, no officers were hurt.
