Cortez Tyrell Timley must serve at least 25 years in prison before being eligible for parole.

He was convicted in March of first-degree murder in the June 2014 death of 26-year-old Jermel Ramond Robbins Sr.

Investigators say Robbins’ was suspected of being the third man involved in a May 2014 shooting that left Tiffany Davenport-Ray dead. His name surfaced during the trials of two other men, Thomas Earl Brown Jr. and Awnterio Lowery, in July 2016. Brown and Lowery were convicted in Davenport-Ray’s death.

Robbins was killed about three weeks after Davenport-Ray was killed.
