JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A western Missouri man has been found guilty of killing his neighbor following a feud.
Attorney General Chris Koster’s office handled prosecution of 70-year-old Lonny Leroy Mays of Clinton. Koster said Tuesday that a jury found May guilty of first-degree murder in the 2012 death or 66-year-old Rudy Romdall, Mays’ neighbor on Truman Lake.
Romdall’s body was found March 26, 2012, in his truck near the Henry County town of Tightwad. Police said at the time that the two men had been involved in a disturbance earlier in the day.
Sentencing is Oct. 28.
