Travis Ricci jailed for life for killing a woman in drive-by shooting in 2009.
A neo-Nazi who was found guilty of murdering a white woman after he saw her walking with her black boyfriend has been sentenced. The jury rejected the prosecutor's push for the death penalty for 37-year-old Travis Ricci. The jury instead ordered him to serve life in prison.
Maricopa County prosecutor Ryan Green said Ricci had intended to kill Wellmaker in the drive-by shooting, but hit Jaeger instead, reported AZ Central. During the trial, prosecutors said that Ricci was a member of the far-right Vinlanders Social Club, a skinhead group described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as being known for their “drinking, brawling and following a racist version of Odinism, a form of ancient paganism once practiced by Vikings.”
“The people who were supposed to nurture him, neglected him,” said Willmott, reported Phoenix New Times. “The people who should have protected him, rejected him. And the people who were supposed to love him, tortured him.” The court also heard how nearly two years after the shooting, Wellmaker had played chess with Ricci while he was in prison for a separate case and failed to recognize him, reported the Associated Press.
