## Resource

A jury delivered a death sentence to Kenneth Simpson for fatally shooting Detective Sgt. Mason Griffith during a convenience store disturbance in March 2023, after Simpson pulled a gun and opened fire when officers attempted to arrest him — a standoff that ended with Simpson’s capture and his claim he was staging a “suicide by cop.” He also received life in prison for assaulting Officer Adam Sullentrup and multiple additional charges, marking a grim verdict in a case that began with a simple call about an angry customer.
