MOBILE, AL. A man who was found guilty in the shooting death of 9-year-old Cailee Knight, now will spend the rest of his life in prison.
Darius Lucky has received two sentences of Life Without the Possibility of Parole following his convictions for the Capital Murder of Cailee Knight, announced District Attorney Keith Blackwood.
A Mobile County jury previously found Lucky guilty of Capital Murder, Shooting into an Occupied Dwelling and Capital Murder of a Victim Less Than 14 Years of Age in the December 5, 2023, killing of Knight.
Evidence presented at trial showed that Lucky and his co-defendants fired multiple rounds into a residence where Cailee was asleep on the couch inside her home. Cailee was killed during the shooting.
Judge Brooks sentenced Lucky to Life Without the Possibility of Parole on both counts, the only sentence permitted under Alabama law for these convictions.
