A Newport News judge sentenced 30-year-old Divine Jackson to life in prison on Friday for shooting and killing a man at 7-Eleven.

In July of 2022, 24-year-old Michael Faison Jr. was shot and killed at a 7-Eleven on Warwick Boulevard in Newport News.

The victim’s family says they are pleased with the life sentence.

"I’m finally relieved that it’s over. I do believe the family is remorseful, but he didn’t really sound remorseful," said Melany Faison, Michael Faison Jr.’s mother.

Melany Faison says justice was served in court for her son’s killer.
