CHICAGO, Aug. 12 (UPI) -- A judge in Illinois has sentenced the man convicted of the murder of NBA star Quentin Richardson's brother to a 180-year prison term, officials said.
Cook County Judge Joseph Kazmierski sentenced Ishmael Clark for the murder of Lee Richardson Jr., 31, and the attempted murder of three Chicago cops after a 2005 robbery went wrong, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Thursday.
Clark, 34, and two co-defendants robbed Richardson and his father, Lee Richardson Sr., at gunpoint at the Richardsons' Chicago home on Dec. 5, 2005.
When the robbery went bad they began shooting, killing the younger Richardson and fleeing in a car before being captured after a 5-mile chase.
Clark, the getaway driver, hit and injured a Chicago officer with his vehicle as he fled, and attempted to run down two more, prosecutors said.
At the trial, previous victims testified to Clark's role in other violent robberies, the Sun-Times reported.
As the sentence was announced there was no reaction from Clark, who has at least four prior felony convictions, the newspaper said.
