JONESBORO, Arkansas — A 19-year-old Craighead County man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for a murder he committed two years ago.
Jaylon Sturdivant pleaded guilty this week to second-degree murder in the death of 19-year-old Madison Wilfong. Wilfong was found lying on a sidewalk outside of a residence in Jonesboro.
An investigation indicated that Sturdivant had paid money to Wilfong in a drug deal. Wilfong later discovered that the bills were counterfeit and encountered Sturdivant about the issue.
Sturdivant shot and killed Wilfong during an argument.
