A Shelby County jury convicted Michael Anthony Powell, who was a convicted robber at the time of his arrest in the deadly shooting, of capital murder in the killing of 54-year-old Tracy Latty Algar at the Kirkland Chevron that Sunday morning more than four years ago. Algar was killed execution-style in the bathroom of the convenience store. Only several hundred dollars were taken in the holdup.
The trial lasted more than a week and when it was over, the jury recommended Powell be sentenced to death, said Shelby County District Attorney Jill Lee. Presiding Circuit Judge Bill Bostick will sentence Powell on May 24.
