A Palm Coast man was sentenced to two, 55-year sentences for the 2022 murders of two Palm Coast 16-year-olds.
Noah Smith was killed in a January 2022 and Keymarion Hall was killed just a few months later in May. Devandre Bernard Williams, 20, was arrested, alongside Terrell Sampson, Tyrese Patterson, and Stephen Monroe, for Smith and Hall's murders.
On Sept. 25, Williams received the two 55-year prison sentences for each count of second degree murder and 30 years for attempted second degree murder. His three sentences will be served concurrently, a Flagler County Sheriff's Office press release said.
Sampson, not Smith or Hall, was the intended targets of the shootings, Sheriff Rick Staly said at the time of the suspects' arrests in 2022.
Sampson — who pled down from attempted second degree murder to attempted manslaughter with a firearm — was sentenced in August to 12 years in prison. Monroe's case is still ongoing, according to the Flagler County Clerk of Courts website.
Patterson was originally scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 25 but it was continued to a later date.
“This dirtbag will spend a longtime in prison for his crimes,” Staly said. “I had promised the families of Noah and Keymarion families that we would hold the killers accountable. While I know this can’t bring back their loved ones, I hope knowing the killers are receiving long prison sentences brings them a feeling of justice."
