Two Cleveland males were convicted guilty of the horrible act of murdering a 29-year-old lady, Alyson Appling-France, while her children watched the horror. Jamar Skanes, 50, and Alontez Beasley, 35, are now facing legal consequences for their acts in January.
According to Cleveland.com, the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office announced the verdict, which included charges of aggravated murder, two counts of murder, and conspiracy to commit murder.
Prosecutor Michael O’Malley stated, “Alontez Beasley and Jamar Skanes brutally assassinated Alyson Appling-France in front of her two young children.” Today, they were held accountable,” emphasizing the gravity of the offense.
According to Cleveland19, a third suspect, Clarence Bennett is still at large, and O’Malley is requesting anyone who knows where he is to contact authorities.
The horrible tragedy occurred following an eight-hour surveillance of Apping-France by the criminals, as recounted in the prosecution’s account. Skanes, Beasley, and Bennett followed Appling-France back to her apartment complex after she had visited Target.
Her return became the scene for the crime as she began unloading groceries from her vehicle, accompanied by her two children, ages six and ten. Tragically, she was shot seventeen times. According to WKYC, despite being quickly transferred to a hospital, she died from her injuries.
