A 21-year-old Texas man will spend the next 40 years in prison for murdering a Black man five years ago in a racially charged dispute that escalated into a deadly shooting.

Madison Meazell Simmons was arrested in February 2021 when he was 17, three months after he gunned down 40-year-old Melvin Ray Rogers Jr. in Nacogdoches, Texas.

The murder took place on Dec. 21, 2020. Police responded to Rogers’ home after they heard gunshots in the area, according to KTRE.

When they arrived, they found Rogers unresponsive in his home garage. He had been shot multiple times.
