## Kevon Lawless sentenced
Kevon Lawless, 29, received 35 years in prison after pleading guilty to murder in the deaths of 21-year-old Brandon Waddles and his 3-year-old daughter, Trinity Randolph.
## Previous conviction overturned
Lawless had been sentenced to life without parole in 2022 but the Kentucky Supreme Court overturned that conviction in 2024 after finding a mistrial should have been granted due to a judge arresting a witness…
## Murder plan hatched
On Aug. 13, 2020, Lawless and Evan Ross hatched a plan to set up and murder Waddles using Lawless' girlfriend as a fake date.
## Fake date setup
Lawless' girlfriend reached out to Waddles to feign interest in starting a relationship, while Ross drove Lawless to Waddles' home on Kahlert Avenue in Louisville, Kentucky.
## Shooting occurs
When the woman asked Waddles to come outside, Lawless jumped out of Ross' Chrysler 200 and fired 11 shots at Waddles.
## Waddles found dead
Waddles was on the floor in a hallway pool of blood, shot six times, and pronounced dead by police.
## Trinity in dollhouse
Trinity, the 3-year-old, was playing in a 'Frozen' dollhouse when she was shot in the back of the neck.
## Trinity found dead
Despite officers' attempts to save her, Trinity was pronounced dead after being shot in the back of the neck.
## Lawless covers tracks
Lawless texted his girlfriend 'we gotta lay low' less than two hours after the shooting and later wrote 'your courage better be strong'.
## Ross arrested
Ross was arrested and later sentenced to 10 years in prison for facilitating the murders and burglary in exchange for a five-year probated sentence.
## Ross's false testimony
Ross claimed he didn't hear any gunshots during the shooting, testimony the judge later called 'a ridiculous lie' that prompted audible laughter from jurors.
## Perjury charge
Ross's false testimony led to a perjury charge against him and landed Lawless' case before the Kentucky Supreme Court.
## Jefferson County Attorney
Jefferson County Commonwealth's Attorney Gerina Whethers stated Lawless 'fully admitted to his responsibility' for the senseless killing of a father and his three-year-old daughter.
## Justice after six years
Whethers said after six years since their deaths, 'we have justice for Brandon Waddles and Trinity Randolph'.
## Key takeaway

Kevon Lawless gets 35 years in prison after admitting guilt for murdering Brandon Waddles and his 3-year-old daughter Trinity Randolph.
