HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - A man convicted of killing a three-month-old baby has been sentenced.

On Monday, a judge sentenced Shannon Overstreet to the jury recommended sentence of life in prison with no mercy.

In September, he was also found guilty on all counts in the death of three-month-old Angel Nichole Overstreet.

Shannon Overstreet was indicted in 2023 on the following charges, all of which he now stands convicted of:
