ROANOKER ADMITS SHAWSVILLE SLAYING

A Roanoke man pleaded guilty Friday in Montgomery County Circuit Court to the July murder of a Shawsville man he thought had beaten his brother.

Jesse M. Hickman, 46, of the 2100 block of Ravenwood Avenue, will serve 16 years in prison in exchange for his plea.

Circuit Judge Kenneth Devore sentenced Hickman to 25 years after convicting him of the first-degree murder of Darrell D. Calloway, 42.

The judge suspended 11 years and ordered that Hickman be placed on probation for 10 years when he is released from prison. Hickman also received a two-year sentence for using a firearm to commit murder.

Calloway died after being shot three times July 26 while standing in the kitchen of his home in Shawsville.
