CENTENNIAL, Colo.—An ex-Marine and Hurricane Katrina evacuee has been sentenced to life in prison without parole in the shooting death of a 62-year-old woman in a Denver suburb.

John Doubleday was sentenced Friday. He was convicted in August of second-degree murder and felony murder.

Prosecutors say Doubleday killed Jutte Gallegos Burton during a December 2006 robbery at a 7-Eleven in the eastern suburb of Denver.

Police say Doubleday and his girlfriend came to Colorado in the evacuation of the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina hit in August 2005.
