TAYLOR COUNTY, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – Taylor County courts sentenced a Sweetwater man to 50 years in prison on Thursday for killing a former co-worker two years earlier.
Jordan Spraggins, now 28, was charged with shooting and killing 26-year-old Steven Phariss on September 21, 2020.
According to court documents, Phariss entered into a relationship with Spraggins’ wife and the two men had physically fought at least once before Spraggins shot Phariss.
Phariss was later found dead in a van with gunshot wounds to his arm, neck and torso along I-20. Spraggins was arrested early the following month and charged in December.
Now, two years later, Spraggins has been sentenced to 50 years in prison without a fine for the murder of Steven Phariss.
