Reports are coming in that a man convicted of killing his Temple City landlord in 2001 has been sentenced to 90 years to life in prison.

Leon Ban-Jye Ko, 49, was found guilty in September of shooting his 50-year-old landlord Ai-Chin Liu and her husband Jong Hsin-Hong in the faces during an argument more than six years ago.
Liu died and Hsin-Hong was injured.

Ko apparently fled after the incident but was arrested within a week in Nevada.
