BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A man charged with shooting one Birmingham police officer to death and wounding another pleaded guilty to capital murder Monday and was sentenced to life without parole.
Jeremy Elwin Owens, 33, avoided a possible death penalty by pleading guilty to killing Sgt. Wytasha Carter on Jan. 13, 2019, news outlets reported. He also pleaded guilty to attempted murder in the shooting of Officer Luke Allums, who recovered, and for shooting at a third officer.
