| Barton Deiters - Troy Brake, 32, was found guilty in May for the shooting deaths of Sharmaine Zimmer, 53, her sons, Jeremy, 20, and Tyler, 18, and the beating death of Jeremy's girlfriend, Katherine Brown. Authorities said Brake killed the family in order to rape Brown.
Brake was convicted of four counts of first-degree murder, which carries a mandatory life sentence.
Brake was connected to the quadruple homicide after an arrest in Grand Rapids for assaulting a prostitute. Authorities matched a gun found during a search of Brake's home to the weapon used in the murders. |
