Black Fresno man ‘fed up’ with racism when he killed 4 white men gets life in prison

A man convicted of killing four white men in 2017 in a race-related rampage in Fresno was sentenced Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole, prosecutors said.

Kori Ali Muhammad’s sentence comes three years after he said he was fed up with racism against black people and shot several people, killing four white men.

He was convicted by a Fresno County jury in April of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, attempted murder and other crimes, the Fresno County district attorney’s office said.

He withdrew a previous plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, and prosecutors said they wouldn’t seek the death penalty.

Muhammad, a black man whose defense said he was mentally ill, was accused of a series of shooting attacks on white men in April 2017 in Fresno.
