Kalamazoo man to serve decades for 2022 stabbing death on top of separate sentence

KALAMAZOO TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A Kalamazoo man already serving a decade-long prison sentence in Jackson will be serving even more time for the 2022 murder of a 53-year-old man, according to the Township of Kalamazoo Police Department.

Andrew McCormack, 54, was sentenced to 45-70 years for second-degree murder and 15-30 years for tampering with evidence in the stabbing death of James Travis, police said.

After taking nearly four years to reach a jury, McCormack was found guilty of the charges in March. Prosecutor Jeffrey Getting previously told News Channel 3 there has been a desire to have the case against McCormack closed for years, but he cited defense attorney changes, competency evaluations, and a backlogged Michigan State Police crime lab as reasons for a delayed trial.
