A man convicted of murder in December for fatally shooting a Denver woman in her apartment was sentenced Friday to more than four decades in prison, according to court records.
Ernest Cunningham, 53, shot and killed Kelsey Roberts, 23, at her home in southeast Denver in June 2024. Roberts lived in an apartment building in the 800 block of South Dexter Street.
Denver District Court Judge Karen Brody sentenced Cunningham on Friday to 42 years in prison after a Denver jury found Cunningham guilty of second-degree murder on Dec. 22, court records show.
Cunningham intended to confront Robert’s husband, but instead shot Roberts when she came to her front door, according to the Denver District Attorney’s Office.
