A Florida ice cream man was sentenced to life in prison without parole on Friday for murdering two men and trying to kill four others in a botched revenge shooting. The defendant, Michael Edward Keetley, 52, had been the victim of an armed robbery in January 2010. Left permanently disabled, he sought vengeance, but prosecutors said it was against the wrong men.
Keetley must serve at least 25 years for the attempted murder charges. He was convicted in March.
Wearing black and sporting a “sheriff” or “police” shirt, he forced the victims to the ground at a home in the community of Ruskin, prosecutors said. He fired a long gun, racked it, then fired again.
Brothers Juan Guitron, 28, and Sergio Guitron, 22, who were known as “Magic” and “Spider,” died. The four attempted murder charges covered victims Daniel Beltran, who was shot three times; Gonzalo Guevara, who was shot four times; Richard Cantu, who was shot in the back of the head; and Ramon Galan, who was shot in the stomach. A fifth would-be victim at the scene was able to flee without being shot.
