Medford, Ore. — The man accused of killing his girlfriend in 2016 was sentenced to life in prison today.
In February, Todd Wilcox was found guilty of murder and manslaughter in connection with the murder of 23-year-old Alexis Lynn Stormo.
With the life sentence, Wilcox has no possibility of parole for 25 years. He was also ordered to pay $17,000 in restitution.
Friday in court, the victim’s family gave a statement saying despite their daughter dying in such a horrific way, nothing could break her spirit.
“She was not supposed to die so young. She was not supposed to be brutally murdered,” said the victim’s family. “Evil has taken our Lexie, but evil will not win.”
Wilcox’s attorney says they’ll be appealing the verdict.
