Gregory Ricardo Burwell was sentenced to serve a maximum 45-year sentence for the murder of a Hampton woman.
Burwell was convicted by a Hampton jury on November 13 of the second-degree murder of Kelly Phillips in July 2018 and use of a firearm in the commission of a murder after a three-day jury trial last August.
The case was prosecuted by the Office of the Attorney General and the Hampton Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office.
“I’m proud of my office for working alongside local authorities to successfully prosecute and advocate for the victim and her family members. Violent crime is not tolerated in the Commonwealth, and we will continue aggressively prosecuting it statewide. Justice has been served.” Attorney General Jason Miyares said.
Hampton police officers responded to a call on July 4, 2018, and found Phillips beaten and shot four times, lying in front of the residence. She was rushed to the hospital where she died.
