UNION COUNTY, N.C. — A grieving Union County mother is one step closer to justice after one of the men charged in her son’s murder was sentenced to prison Tuesday.
Patrick Richmond Jr. took a plea deal and was sentenced to nearly 23 years in prison for the murder of Marcus Mosley in 2020.
Police say Mosley was robbed of marijuana, worth $20,000, before being shot and killed on Sept. 29, 2020.
