A Kansas City man has been sentenced to 87 years in prison for an attempted bank robbery that caused a security guard’s death. Twenty-five-year-old Iralee French Jr. and a co-defendant, 25-year-old Thriplus Moose, robbed a UMB Bank branch in February 2006.

They tried to rob the same bank a few weeks later. During that attempt, French shot 70-year-old Dwight Mayhugh as he arrived at the bank for his job as a security guard. The two men forced the injured Mayhugh into the bank but when the guard said he didn’t have access to money, they drove away in his car. Mayhugh died at a hospital the next day. Moose, who pleaded guilty to charges related to the crimes, will be sentenced later this week.
