A man convicted earlier this month of murder in a fatal stabbing at a Family Dollar Store in Adams County, nearly a decade after the crime, will spend the rest of his life in prison, according to court records.
Adams County District Court Judge Jeffrey Ruff sentenced Anthony Dennis Grayson, 51, to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Tuesday, a mandatory sentence for first-degree murder.
An Adams County jury convicted Grayson on that charge on July 10, after a four-day trial.
The case was delayed because of questions surrounding Grayson’s competency.
Grayson was ultimately found competent and chose to represent himself at trial, according to a news release from the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
Adams County sheriff’s deputies responded to the Family Dollar Store at 7067 Pecos Street at about 5 p.m. on Sept. 1, 2016. When they arrived, they found the manager, Alejandro Alvear, had been stabbed multiple times.
Alvear died from his injuries at the hospital, sheriff’s officials said.
