Debbie Ervin now breathes better because the man who killed her daughter was sentenced to 40 years in prison Thursday.
Katelyn Ervin, 26, was killed by Ellis Lee Bell III on Feb. 27, 2018, said Detective Sgt. Steve Craig of the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office.
Bell, 36, of Nashville pleaded guilty to second-degree murder of Ervin and pleaded no contest to a related rape charge during a hearing Thursday in Circuit Court.
During a victim’s impact statement, Debbie Ervin told Bell “how our family has been completely shattered because of his actions.”
Katelyn Ervin was the fifth child of six children from the blended family between her mother and father, Steve Ervin, a county commissioner and Probation and Recovery Services Director for Rutherford County.
