A Fresno man convicted of a brutal killing during the robbery of a small amount of marijuana was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Damone Kiki Mayberry Jr. was found guilty in October of first-degree murder for what prosecutors called the “execution-style” slaying of Lorenzo McCray, 50. Police said Mayberry, 30, shot McCray in the back of the head in McCray’s apartment, according to a report by the Fresno Bee. “Lorenzo McCray was killed for a Mason jar of marijuana and some used baseball hats.”AdvertisementMayberry declined to say anything during his sentencing Thursday. He was my baby brother, and I loved him.”An accomplice, Gypsy Hall, pleaded no contest to a charge of voluntary manslaughter and first-degree residential robbery in the case.
