Two Men Sentenced to Life for Separate Murders

Shelton Miles was sentenced to life in prison without parole, plus an additional 20 to 41 years, for the March 2024 murder of Jose Tatis Camilo during an armed robbery at a Scranton gas station, in which he also seriously wounded cashier Gopi Soni. Despite pleading insanity and acknowledging mental illness, Miles was convicted in May of first-degree murder, attempted murder, robbery, and aggravated assault. District Attorney Brian Gallagher criticized systemic failures that allowed Miles to remain free prior to the crime. The Tatis Camilo family expressed relief at the verdict and remembered Jose as a devoted father. In a separate case, Anthony Dennis Grayson was sentenced to life without parole for the 2016 fatal stabbing of Alejandro Alvear, a store manager in Adams County, Colorado, after representing himself at trial. Grayson's trial had been delayed for years due to competency concerns.
