## Resource

A former Connecticut resident, Jakiy Keith, faces a brutal 30-to-life sentence for fatally shooting Kayla Wright in a Vermont home turned drug den — a crime that unfolded amid an ongoing investigation. The judge noted the operation resumed swiftly after the body was hidden in a river toolbox. Keith, who pleaded guilty to murder and body removal, apologized to Wright’s family, describing her as a compassionate woman recovering from addiction — only to be killed by someone who exploited her vulnerability. His defense cited a troubled past, while prosecutors demanded 50 years to life, calling him a predator of addicts. Keith’s state sentence will run alongside his existing 13-year federal term for drug and gun charges. A witness confirmed he helped dispose of the body — sealing a case where justice met tragedy.
