Albany and New Albany Men Sentenced for Murders

Donteregan Sanders, a New Albany man, has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for the murder of his great aunt, Earlean Deloney, which occurred last year after a physical altercation. The incident, described as a 'tragic, senseless act of violence' by Floyd County prosecutor Chris Lane, underscores the serious issue of domestic violence within the community. Sanders was also found guilty of possessing a weapon in jail, which will run concurrently with his murder sentence. In a separate case, Joseph Seeley of Albany has been sentenced to 25 years to life for the 2020 murder of Jimmy Moore, where he was found guilty of second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon. These cases highlight ongoing concerns about violence and the legal system's efforts to address them. Prosecutors and community leaders continue to stress the importance of addressing domestic violence and holding offenders accountable.
