It was November 2002 when Asia Bell, her husband Tyrone James and Robert Milhouse were gunned down on a front porch near North Mississippi and Jessup. Police described them as victims of random violence.

Bell, who was a young mother of three children, was shot eight times. Her husband's injuries left him blinded.

Alexander Klein, 38, and Deprince Hale, 30, were convicted of murder with a firearm, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

In March, they were found guilty on all counts.

The victim's mother, Perlia Bell, became an anti-violence community activist after the shooting.

Sonja Elaine Hutchens, 26, was accused of conspiracy to commit murder and several lesser crimes, and confessed to being part of the plot. She helped turn over evidence in the case.

Police also took Rico Gonzales, 34, into custody in connection with the case on federal crack cocaine charges, police said.
