KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A 47-year-old man has been convicted in the deaths of three people in Kansas City while he was on parole for another murder. The Jackson County Prosecutor’s office said Thursday that Victor Skyes was found guilty of three counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors said he and a woman with him killed Larona Jones, Larry Barnes and Brandy Jones in October 2019. A probable cause statement says Barnes and Sykes got into an argument outside of the house before the victims were shot. His co-defendant, Lynnsey Jones, is currently serving three life sentences after admitting that she shot all three victims. Court documents say Skyes was on parole for a previous murder when the shootings occurred.
