Marquise Cromer was sentenced Thursday to 40-75 years in prison for fatally shooting a Detroit police sergeant.
Cromer also received a concurrent sentencing for shooting his father and another man during a one-man crime spree almost a year and a half ago.
Cromer shot Sgt. Kenneth Steil Sept. 12, 2016, while officers were searching for him in connection with the shooting of Cromer’s father and another man a day earlier. Steil died a few days later of his injuries.
During his sentencing, Cromer told the judge he was “hearing voices” when he shot the 46-year-old officer, adding: “I thought it was God, to be honest.”
