Cola Beale was sentenced in Norfolk on Friday another life sentence for the murder of his cousin, 32-year-old Downing McLean.
Friday’s sentencing marks the fourth life sentence handed down for a killing spree that left three people and a dog dead in March 2022.
Beale’s Virginia Beach sentence was handed down in July, when he received three life sentences plus 63 years for murdering his girlfriend, Czavi’er Hill, and father figure, Clifton Baxter.
After a two-day trial in Norfolk, a jury found Beale guilty of first-degree murder and using a gun in the commission of a felony.
